VIDEO: Drunk man ‘plays’ with cobra in Andhra Pradesh, lands in hospital

In a bizarre incident, an intoxicated young man in Andhra Pradesh ended up in the hospital after ‘playing’ with a cobra.

The incident was reported from Kadiri in Sathyasai district, when heavily intoxicated Nagaraju spotted the cobra slithering into college premises and he tried to grab it. The serpent tried to escape into nearby bushes, but Nagaraju caught the snake and brought it back to the road.

Despite frantic warnings from bystanders, Nagaraju continued to 'play' with the snake recklessly for over an hour. The cobra, tired of being provoked, eventually bit the man. Shocked onlookers immediately called for an ambulance, and Nagaraju was rushed to the hospital.

A video of the incident is circulating on social media.

In the video, Nagaraju is seen striking a cobra’s head repeatedly, despite the frantic warnings and pleas from the bystanders urging him to stop. He even steps on it.
