A young man was killed and two others injured as a herd wild elephants attacked them in Bajalia area of Satkania upazila on Thursday morning.
The deceased was identified as Md Hossain, 28.
Locals said that a herd of wild elephants entered Bajalia area adjacent to a reserved forest a week ago but the Forest Department didn't take any step to drive them away.
When a group of villagers tried to drive them away in the morning, the elephants swooped on them, leaving Hossain dead on the spot and two others-Abul Kalam, 32, and Monzur, 18, injured.
Rafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Satkania Police Station, said police have been sent to the area.
