Four people were killed and several critically injured after wild elephants rampaged through a village in Eastern India. The attacks occurred when four elephants broke away from their herd and entered the village of Bhatar in West Bengal state on March 20. West Bengal forest minister Benoy Krishna Burman said the elephants were angered and attacked when villagers threw stones at them in attempt to scare them away. He said that caused the elephants' deadly rampage, triggering widespread panic through the village. One of the four people killed was recorded on video being attacked by an elephant.
