Woman grabs a snake with her hands as her kid crawls towards 8-ft-king cobra

An incident where an 8-foot long king cobra was rescued by a woman in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj from near her house has come to the light.

The woman, Sasmite Gochhait, and her husband Akil Munda were scared when they saw their 2-year-old child crawl towards the snake.

Akil Munda grabbed his son and jumped out the window while Gochhait, who has never touched a snake before this, grabbed the reptile.

Akil said, “As soon as I saw my baby crawl towards the cobra I grabbed him and jumped out the window to call officials. We went to call range officer Krishna Gochhait and told him about the incident. He rushed home with me.”
