According to wildlife experts, there has been an increase in incidents of elephant-human encounters in rural India due to the destruction of natural habitat. One such encounter ended in tragedy when two elephants strayed into the village in Burdwan district in India after being separated from their herd.
They wrecked havoc in a nearby field destroying crops before one of them caught a man who came too close and flung him in the air before trampling him to death. Villagers tried unsuccessfully to help the man and chase the animals away.
