Dholka: A 50-year-old man was killed after a stray bull attacked and gored him in the Dholka GIDC area at night, triggering fear among local residents over the growing stray cattle menace.

The deceased, Rajiv Ratan Ramkhilavan, originally from Uttar Pradesh and currently residing in Dholka, was returning home from work when the bull suddenly attacked him.

According to details, the bull struck the man with its horns and repeatedly tossed him into the air. He suffered serious injuries to his head, chest and private parts and reportedly bled heavily. He died on the spot.
