Man crushed to death after trying to take selfie with elephant in India

A man was trampled to death after trying to take selfie with an elephant on Thursday.

Srikant Satre, 23, and two of his friends ventured into the Abapur forest in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli after receiving reports that an elephant had been spotted nearby.

Once they saw the elephant, the trio decided to start posing for photographs with the wild animal.

It was at that moment that the elephant charged at them and killed Mr Satre while he was trying to take a selfie with him.

The workers were in the city, located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, to carry out cable-laying work when on Tuesday they heard rumors from locals that an elephant had been sighted nearby.

The two friends managed to save their lives and escape while Srikant had an unfortunate fate.
