Overview
- A venomous snake entered the Adenigarh village home through an open window and coiled around one of Krushna/ Krishna Chandra Sahu’s hands and a nearby chair, immobilising the elderly stroke survivor while he lay in bed.
- Family and neighbours monitored the situation for several hours before separating the snake from the man without provoking it, and Sahu is now reported to be safe and recovering from shock with no bite or major injury.
- Accounts differ on key details: some outlets report the ordeal lasted about four hours while others say about two hours, and reports disagree on whether family members alone freed him or local snake rescuers intervened.
- The snake’s exact species and the medical verification of its venomous status were not identified in coverage, and outlets emphasised caution rather than confrontation when handling home snake encounters.
- Local reaction called the escape remarkable and officials used the incident to remind rural households to secure doors and windows, keep homes tidy to deter snakes, and contact trained rescuers if reptiles enter living spaces.
