India's population is growing, leaving less space for wild elephants.
Normally, Asian elephants are considered docile. And India has many in captivity.
But when they wander into towns, they can be confused.
And they can get extremely aggressive, destroying buildings and killing people.
Some estimates say up to 300 people are killed by elephants each year in India.
Asian elephants are endangered, and their numbers are still shrinking.
