Tusker kills two more in Jharkhand, slips into Odisha

JAMSHEDPUR: The rogue elephant that had been on a rampage in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district since Jan 1 killed two more people Friday, dodging darts and almost trampling a forester to death, even as a team of more than 300 forest personnel – armed with dart guns, power-charged guns, sticks, and other equipment – chased the jumbo in a desperate bid to tranquillise and capture it. The animal later slipped into Odisha, reports B Sridhar. With Friday’s kills, the total number of victims trampled to death by this problem tusker – believed to be in musth and separated from its herd – rose to 19. Another 10 people have been injured. In the past 23 days, Jharkhand has also witnessed 27 deaths in elephant attacks.
