HORROR: Wild Elephant Kills Two Dozen People in a 10-Day Rampage Across Eastern India (VIDEO)
The one-tusked menace defies official efforts to stop him.
For the last ten days, towns in Eastern India are living a nightmare caused by a large wild bull elephant that is leaving death and gore in his trail.
Almost two dozen people have been killed and over 15 injured during his unstoppable rampage.
Local dwellers are reportedly climbing trees and sleeping on the rooftops of their houses to remain out of its deadly reach.

The New York Post reported:
“The single-tusked male struck first on New Year’s Day when it killed a 35-year-old man in the village of Bandijhari in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district.
Four days later, the animal killed five members of the same family in the nearby town of Sowan. The next day, it killed five more people in Babaria, including a married couple and their two children, the Times of India reported.”

Reports say that the elephant moves fast at night, and covered as much as 25 miles a day, thwarting repeated attempts to tranquilize it, according to forest officials.
“The animal is believed to be in a state of musth — a natural but dangerous hormonal condition in male elephants marked by a surge in testosterone that can last weeks or even months.
[…] More than 300 forest and wildlife personnel have been deployed in a massive search operation involving tracking teams, tranquilizer units and drones.”
The giant beast evades capture by moving rapidly through thick forest, and animal control officials have been unable to tranquilize it.
