Three members of a family, including a 35-day-old infant, died in an elephant attack in Bengal's Alipurduar on Saturday.
The deceased were identified as Manoj Das (35), his daughter Manisha, and his mother Makhanrani (68).
A herd of 20 elephants had entered Kunjanagar village from a nearby forest.
One tusker that strayed the other way trampled Manoj to death. Hearing his cries, Makhanrani rushed out of the house carrying Manisha. As the elephant attacked her, the baby slipped from her arms and got trampled too. All three were taken to the hospital but declared brought dead.
Villagers demanded repair of electric fences to keep jumbos out.
