Elephant tramples man to death

A 48-year-old man was trampled to death by an elephant in the Laldhang forest range of Pauri district, a forest official said on Thursday. Bhopal Singh, a resident of Nathukhal village, had gone for some work to Beat No. 7 of the Laldhang forest range, a reserved area which is also considered an elephant corridor, on Wednesday afternoon, range officer Virendra Pal Singh said. However, when he did not return home in the evening, villagers started searching for him. They informed the forest department after Bhopal’s trampled body was spotted in the reserved forest area late at night, the official said. The body had been sent to Kotdwar for a post-mortem examination, he added. — PTI
