Watch: Wild elephant enters house in Coimbatore

The elephant probably came in search of food and ate rice and fertilisers kept in bags. The animal fled from the spot after several attempts made by the villagers.

Earlier on August 27, a 60-year-old man was trampled to death by wild elephants in Jharkhand's Giridih district. A Forest Department official said Dhaneshwar Rai was sleeping when a herd of 18 elephants entered Sabuatand village and attacked the villagers. Rai failed to escape and got killed.

In another incident a wild elephant which got stranded on a rock in a river in spate, was rescued on August 13 after sluice gates of a dam were closed briefly to allow water to recede in flood-hit Kerala's Thrissur district.
