Search for Wild Elephant in India Following Fatal Attacks
January 12, 2026
A wild elephant in India has killed at least 20 people over the course of nine days. Most attacks occurred at night while residents were protecting their crops. One of the victims was a father who was killed along with his two young sons. Authorities suggest that the elephant may be young and agile, with possible aggression due to the mating season. A large operation is underway to locate the elephant.
