Shambudayal had even turned on the washing machine. After finding out about the cobra inside the machine, he turned it off and retreated in fear. Later, Shambhudayal called Govind Sharma, a local snake catcher in the area.
Sharma arrived on the spot and assessed the situation before starting his work. Later, he rescued the snake and released it into a forest at a distant location from Shambudayal’s residence.
“The snake, which measured over 5 feet in length, was carefully extracted from the washing machine. After rescuing the Cobra, I released it into the Ladpura forest, far from the residential area,” India Today quoted the snake catcher as saying.
During the monsoon season, it is very common to see wild creatures, especially reptiles, emerge from their habitats. Over the past few weeks, there have also been incidents of crocodiles coming out of water bodies and spotted moving in the middle of streets of Indian cities like Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, etc. Few weeks ago, a crocodile was found crawling on the streets of Kota in Rajasthan.
