After receiving the information, a team of police led by Ranjan Das, in-charge of Nagrijuli police outpost and a team of forest officials rushed to the spot and recovered the body of Hajong.

Later the body was sent for conducting a post-mortem.

A huge herd of wild elephants was also seen moving near Goibari village.

It may be mentioned that in the last two months, three persons have been killed by wild elephants in the Tamulpur Sub-division of Baksa district.
