Dumka (Jharkhand): A 20-year-old man was trampled to death by a wild elephant near Kathalia village in Dumka district on Friday, a forest official said.
Robin Tudu went to a hilly area in search of his cow when the incident happened, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Saurabh Chandra said.
Agitated villagers blocked the Dumka-Seuri road demanding compensation to the family of the deceased.
The DFO said that the compensation could be given only after post-mortem examination of the body.
Meanwhile, he asked the villagers not to venture into the hilly area as the lone elephant is still there.
