Maharashtra Man Killed by Wild Elephant During Selfie Attempt

A 23-year-old labourer was trampled to death in Gadchiroli's Abapur forest while trying to take a selfie with a wild elephant.

Srikant Satre, a labourer from Navegaon, was attacked and killed by a wild elephant in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli district.
The incident occurred when Satre, along with two friends, ventured into the Abapur forest to view elephants during a work break.
While his friends escaped unharmed, Satre was fatally attacked by the elephant as he attempted to take a selfie from a distance.
Forest officials had been monitoring the lone elephant, which has a history of aggression, but were unable to prevent the attack.
The tragedy highlights ongoing concerns about human-animal conflicts in the region, with other similar incidents reported in India.
