A bull elephant, separated from its herd, has killed at least 20 people, including children, in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district since January 9. The animal's unusual aggression has caused widespread panic, leading villagers to move in groups and arm themselves. Forest officials describe the elephant as extremely dangerous and are conducting a massive hunt, but its current location remains uncertain. This marks a brutal and unprecedented level of man-animal conflict in the region.
