A man was trampled to death by a herd of wild elephants while retuning home through a forest in Bankura district of West Bengal, claim villagers.
Bantul Lohar, 59, a day labourer, was Monday night crushed by wild elephants at Hurahur forest range near Sonamukhi, about 150 km from here, local media reports said.
His body, which literally turned into a lump of flesh, was recovered Tuesday morning.
The villagers, who first spotted the body in the forest, said there were several footprints of elephants at the site where the incident took place. They claimed an elephant herd, coming from Dalma forest range, took shelter in the Hurahur forest area and was unleashing terror.
However, forest department officials are not sure if the incident was really caused by wild tuskers that came from Dalma forest range.
