As the elephants entered the home, the family inside quickly retreated to the safety of the upper floor, fearing for their lives as the wildlife wreaked havoc in their living room. The viral clips serve as a stark reminder of the close encounters between humans and wildlife in the region, highlighting the need for increased awareness and safety measures in areas adjacent to elephant habitats.
In a heartbreaking incident in Maharashtra, a young laborer was killed by a wild elephant while trying to take a selfie. The victim, Srikant Ramchandra Satre, had gone to the Abapur forest in Gadchiroli with two friends on Thursday morning in hopes of spotting the magnificent creature. Tragically, this outing took a fatal turn when Srikant was attacked by the aggressive elephant.
