Angul: An elderly man was trampled to death by an elephant at Karadapada village in Odisha’s Angul district on Friday.
The deceased has been identified as Chandramani Nayak.
Sources said that Nayak had gone to a nearby field to attend nature’s call when he suddenly came across a wild elephant which trampled him to death.
Following information, Forest officials and police rushed to the village. The body was later sent for post-mortem.
