In an interview with Times Now, Rajesh recounted the nerve-wracking encounter with the cobra which took place on the night of April 1. He explained that a resident from Indore called, reporting a snake sighting in their bathroom. Rajesh advised the residents to keep an eye on the snake from a safe distance but fear led them to lock the bathroom door from the outside. Upon his arrival, Rajesh initially couldn’t locate the snake until he inspected the commode where he found the cobra staring back at him.
“I looked inside the commode and saw something black, which appeared to be the mouth of a highly venomous cobra,” he told Times Now.
Since being posted online, the video has garnered significant attention, amassing thousands of views and a flurry of reactions in the comment section.
One user shuddered, “My fear came to reality,” while another added, “New fear unlocked.”
Another comment highlighted the danger, “Indian spectacled cobra highly venomous snake.”
One curious viewer asked, “How did the house owner discover it?”
In another daring rescue, Rajesh tackled a snake hiding in the front light panel of a scooter. The video shows him gripping the snake’s tail and using an iron rod to remove the scooter’s light panel. Inside, the snake lay concealed, likely out of fear. Determined to extract it, Indori discovered it was a cobra, one of the most poisonous snakes.
The video quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions from online users.
