The elephant attacked Bibhuti, who has a hearing problem, and trampled him to death, police said.

Shatrughan, however, managed to escape with injuries, they said.

As the duo did not return home on Friday, the villagers began a search for them, the officer-in-charge of Patamda police station Ranjeet Kumar Singh said.

The villagers found them on Saturday morning -- Shatrughan was writhing in pain with Bibhuti lying dead nearby, he said.

Shatrughan was admitted to the community health centre, while Bibhuti's body was sent for post-mortem, he added.
