SURI: A herd of elephants damaged a house at a village in Birbhum on Sunday night. Though foresters tried their best to drive the herd away, the pachyderms played hide-and-seek with them all night. The incident occurred in Patalpur village under Rajnagar police station.
Rabin Chatterjee, a forest department official, said: "The herd broke into the village from a forest in Jharkhand.
Local residents and our men drove them away. However, in the afternoon, the herd started moving towards Patalpur again. We will try to send it back."
