An Indian cobra has reportedly lost its freedom after biting a Chattisgrah farmer, who retaliated by tying it up.
A photo published by Deccan Chronicle shows the hapless cobra with a string around its neck. The other end of the string is presumably tied to a post.
Deccan Chronicle informs that the incident took place on Sunday in the village of Lahangbahara in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district.
The farmer, Lahari Lal, was reportedly bitten by the cobra when he was tilling his land. In fury, he captured it, took it home, and kept it tied to a pole in his backyard.
It is not clear how Lahari Lal survived the extremely venomous bite of the Indian cobra. There is also no mention if he is a professional snake catcher as it takes a expert skill to capture Indian cobra.
