Wild elephants trampled a tribal woman to death at village Dhopajuri in Haluaghat, a frontier upazila of the district on Saturday night.
The victim was identified as Alpana Chirang, 25, wife of Abdul Khaleque.

Alpana fell victim as a herd of wild elephants from across the Indian border entered the village at around 11:00pm and started ransacking the houses to eat stored paddy, police and locals said.
Alpana's one and a half year-old daughter was also injured.
Later the villagers chased the elephants away
