A 65-year-old man named Zainal Abedin was killed in a wild elephant attack in Bakshiganj upazila of Jamalpur district. The incident occurred in the Somnathpara area of the Garo hills under Dhanua Kamalpur Union. According to local sources, Zainal left home on Friday morning to collect firewood but did not return by evening.
