Three people were killed by the elephant on Monday morning at a village under Bhandra police station area, while one woman was killed by the jumbo in Kudu.
At least four persons, including three women, were trampled to death by an elephant in Jharkhand's Lohardaga district, a forest official said on Monday.
Three people were killed by the elephant on Monday morning at a village under Bhandra police station area, while one woman was killed by the jumbo in Kudu police station area, some 60 km from state capital Ranchi, on Sunday evening, the official said.
"A 50-year-old woman was killed by an elephant on Sunday evening at Kudu, while three persons in the age group of 30 and 65 were killed at Bhandra on Monday morning. "The distance between Bhandra and Kudu is around 25 km. So, it is possible that all four killings were made by the same elephant. However, it is yet to be ascertained," said Lohardaga divisional forest officer (DFO) Arvind Kumar.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination.
