LIVE VIDEO: Snake ‘Trick’ Turns Deadly, Man Dies in 2 Minutes After Cobra Strikes

Hajipur(The Uttam Hindu): A shocking incident unfolded in Hajipur’s Chak Sikandar market when a renowned snake rescuer, JP Yadav, was fatally bitten by a giant cobra during what was supposed to be a routine rescue mission. The horrifying moment was caught on camera and the video has now gone viral.

Local residents had called Yadav after spotting an enormous 8-10 feet long cobra inside a ration shop. Yadav, known for saving thousands of snakes in the area, arrived promptly and managed to catch the cobra after a brief struggle.

However, instead of safely putting the cobra into a container, he began performing tricks with it in front of a large crowd that had gathered. In the viral video, the cobra can be seen striking back and biting Yadav’s right hand.

Panicked, Yadav quickly tried to tie a cloth around his hand with the help of a friend. But as he attempted to handle the cobra again, the venom spread rapidly through his body. Within moments, he collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness. Despite desperate efforts by bystanders to rush him to a hospital, doctors declared him dead on arrival.

His companion, Ravindra Kumar, shared that Yadav had dedicated his life to saving snakes, having rescued more than a thousand over the years. His tragic death stands as a grim reminder of the deadly risk involved in handling wild animals for show.
