3 Children, Sleeping Together In Fear Of Elephant Attack, Die Of Snake Bite

Three children who were sleeping together in fear of elephant attacks, died of snakebite in a village in Jharkhand's Garwah district, police said on Friday.

The incident happened in Chapkali village, under the jurisdiction of Chinia police station of the district, a police officer said.

Scared of elephant attacks, around 8 to 10 children of a family were sleeping on the floor of their tile home when the reptile, reportedly a Krait, sneaked into the house, situated in Nawanagar Tola, and bit the three on Thursday night, the police officer said.

Following the incident, the victims were taken to a sorcerer at around 1 am, where two of them died. The family members then took the third victim to a quack but she died on the way, the police officer said.

The children were identified as Pannalal Korwa (15), Kanchan Kumari (8), and Baby Kumari (9), the Officer-in-Chaarge of Chinia police station Neeraj Kumar said.

Meanwhile, the villagers are being forced to sleep in safe places owing to the prevailing elephant menace.

The pachyderms enter the human habitat in search of food.

Some villagers were compelled to sleep on the roof of school buildings or in groups at one place in the village, the locals claimed.
