Out attending nature’s call, man trampled to death by elephant Tamar villagers furious with foresters for not warning them about tusker movement
Out to attend nature’s call in the open, a tribal man was trampled to death by a wild elephant in Ranchi’s Tamar block past Saturday midnight, triggering outrage among villagers over the alleged lackadaisical approach of forest officials in alerting residents about the presence of wild tuskers.
In his forties, Budhram Munda, a resident of Kundala village under Tamar police station around 50 km from the state capital, sustained severe internal and external injuries after an elephant caught hold of him and rammed him on the ground several times. A profusely bleeding Budhram was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead, villagers said.
