11-year-old trampled to death by elephant in Jharkhand's Gumla district

The elephant attacked the home from the side of the kitchen. The girl opened the door and tried to flee,' the DFO said, adding that since it was raining and there was no electricity in the village, she could not identify the location of the elephant and came in front of it. The elephant lifted her with its trunk and slammed her on the ground and trampled her to death, forest officials said. The villagers said Bhora Tirkey, Amrita's father, had heard the sound of the approaching elephant. 'As the elephant started pushing the wall from the kitchen side, Bhora opened the door for all family members in the house to flee. But while fleeing, Amrita reached near the elephant due to darkness,'a villager said. The villagers are living in panic, as the elephant moved towards the nearby forest. They fear that the jumbo might again raid the village on Sunday night. The forest department handed over Rs 20,000 to the victim's family. The remaining Rs 3.80 lakh will be credited in Bhora's account within two months, forest officials said.
