Fear grips residents of area as the animal continues to be at large.
Two persons were crushed to death when a wild elephant ran amok in Bihar s Nawada district. A team from the forest department was trying to catch the elephant, which has also destroyed crops.
A forest official said the elephant entered Babhanauli village in Nardiganj on Wednesday night and killed Vinod Chauhan (55).
On Thursday morning, the elephant caught Anandi Singh (62) while he was out in Hisua. It picked him up and then slammed him on the ground, which led to Singh s death, officials said.
