A seven-year-old Indian girl has been trampled to death by an elephant after it used its trunk to pluck the infant from her bed.
Sini Munda, from Mundasahi in the Champua forest range, was asleep beside her brother Ganesh and sister Rani last night when the tusked animal battered the side of their house.
After tearing down part of the wall, the animal snaked its trunk into the building to grab the youngster before crushing her to death.
Ganess and Rani are in a critical condition after the wall caved in and collapsed on top of them.
They are receiving urgent treatment at the Champua Community Health Centre, according to Ommcom News.
The Champua forest range is in Odisha’s Keonjhar district in eastern India.
