SHILLONG: In a tragic incident near the India-Bangladesh border in the West Garo Hills district of Meghalaya, a wild elephant trampled a Border Security Force (BSF) personnel to death.

The victim, sub-inspector Rajbir Singh of the 100 Bn of the BSF deployed at the Garo Hills sector in Meghalaya, lost his life early Wednesday (June 26) morning.

Singh was on duty in the Dalu region, supervising other BSF personnel when a herd of elephants emerged from the jungle and charged at him.

Despite attempts to escape, Singh was tragically trampled to death.

His remains are being transported to his home state of Haryana for the last rites.
