The beast was seen wandering around and knocking over buildings.
The elephant strayed into the village early in the morning and woke up villagers with its roaring.
"The elephant entered from a nearby forest area. It has destroyed many houses and people are scared and helpless," villager Milan Saha told Reuters.
No injuries were reported.
Attacks by elephants have been on the rise in eastern India. Wildlife
experts say the destruction of animal habitats in the country is one of
the main reasons for the increase in encounters between wild animals and
villagers in rural areas of India.
