Elephant tramples man to de.ath as he tries to take a selfie with it

Srikant Satre, 23, and two of his friends ventured into the Abapur forest close to the city of Gadchiroli in central India following reports that an elephant had been spotted nearby.

Once they spotted the elephant, the trio decided to start posing for pictures with the wild animal.

It was at this point that the elephant charged at them and killed Mr Satre as he attempted to take a selfie with it.

The workers were in the city, which is situated in the Indian state of Maharashtra, for cable laying work when they heard rumours from locals on Tuesday that an elephant had been sighted nearby.

According to the Indian news website NDTV, the three friends agreed to go and find the animal when they weren’t working on Thursday morning.
