    Later, local police and officials from the forest service arrived at the scene and removed the deceased's body.

    Digital Desk: In yet another man-animal conflict, a person was killed when an elephant herd trampled him to death in the Goalpara district of Assam.

    In the early hours of Thursday, the incident was reported near  Lakhipur town in the district.

    According to reports, a herd of wild elephants had strayed into the neighbourhood in search of food, and after seeing locals panic and flee, the elephants became angry.

    A man named Nizamuddin died as a result of the ordeal.

    As constant rains and floods have severely impacted their food source, it is believed that the elephants had wandered off in search of sustenance.

    Later, local police and officials from the forest service arrived at the scene and removed the deceased's body.

    In the Kamrup area of Assam, a wild elephant recently killed another guy.
    The deceased, identified as Suren Pator, was the only breadwinner for his family and a daily wage labourer.

    It may be mentioned that Pator was on his way to work when he came across a wild elephant, which unfortunately attacked and killed him.
