While on duty in the Dalu region, Singh was supervising the jawans when a herd of elephants emerged from the jungle and charged at him.

Tragically, he was trampled to death. His mortal remains are being transported back to his home state of Haryana for the last rites.

This incident follows a similar tragedy last year in the West-South Garo Hills border stretch, where another jawan was chased and killed by a herd of wild elephants.
