North Bengal, Sadik Rahman, 40, a security guard at a bank, was on his way to work and made the unfortunate mistake of getting out of his car to take photographs of an elephant standing on the road.

The man was trampled to death.

The incident took place two days ago at 5 pm in a forest area. The elephant brought traffic to a grinding halt when crossing National Highway 31.

Witnesses looked on as the elephant launched a vicious attack on Mr Rahman and could do little to deter or chase it away. After 15 minutes, the elephant disappeared into the forest.

Mr Rahman died of his injuries on the spot.

"Elephants are common in this area; they cross this highway almost every day and the custom is no one steps out of their vehicle. Sadik dared to confront the elephant and got killed," a forest official told.

According to records of the state's forest department, incidents of human-elephant conflict killed 84 people last year. Several elephant have also died after being hit by trains.

That guy was either the stoopidest person I've seen for a good long while, mentally ill or was planning on committing suicide that day anyway and decided death by eliphant was the way to go
I mean, who stands there whilst a fully grown elephant saunters towards you??!

Another "shaky" photographer that missed the action. Gets perfect video of the elephant standing there, farting, but then misses the killing. JFC!
Also, note that the elephant responded as soon as the guy stepped out and the car door closed.

I'm surprised he even had brains, until I saw them on the asphalt

Yes he is very "stoopid".

I think he deserved it. He stood there whilst the elephant strolled towards him. He had plenty of time to get away. Really annoyed that whoever was filming it missed the actual moment the elephant reached him!!

Nice job by the elephant to walk casually like he was going to be chill, and then fucked him up
