Four people, including a father-daughter duo, were killed after being attacked by wild elephants in separate incidents in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district, forest department officials said on Friday (August 1, 2025).
These elephant attacks took place in the last two days.
In a separate incident, an elephant died of electrocution after it came in contact with a live wire illegally laid by three persons to operate a borewell in neighbouring Korba district, they said.
A woman, identified as Sanmet Bai, was trampled to death by an elephant which entered the premises of her house in Bakila village in Surguja district and attacked her on Wednesday (July 30), said a forest department official.
Her husband Nehru Kanwar managed to escape from the spot, he said.
