A 25-year-old man was critically injured after being attacked by a wild elephant when he tried to click a selfie with the animal in Jharkhand’s Dumka district, officials said on Saturday.
Vishal Singh tried to click a selfie with the elephant while riding his bike on Friday in Dumka town, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Sourav Chandra told PTI.
The sub-adult elephant strayed away from its herd around a month back and was wreaking havoc in villages in the district, he said.
“We have tracked the elephant at the Masalia area of Dumka, which is about 20 km from Jamtara. It is on the way to its natural corridor,” Mr. Chandra said.
