A man, Ram Sahai from Kalyanpur village in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur faced a terrifying encounter when a 15-foot-long python attacked him while he was defecating in the open. According to India Today, the snake approached from behind and coiled around his neck with its tail.
As the python tightened its grip, the man managed to catch hold of the snake’s mouth and screamed for help. Villagers passing by heard his cries and rushed to assist. By the time they arrived, the snake had fully wrapped itself around the man’s body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Swift and Brave Response
The villagers who acted swiftly immediately began efforts to rescue the man. Based on the video, they used an axe and a long stick to kill and remove the python from the man’s body. The incident, which lasted 53 seconds, was captured on video and has since gone viral. The footage shows the villagers working together to free the man from the snake’s deadly grasp.
Legal Protection for the Rescuers
There will be no legal repercussions for the villagers’ actions. Forest ranger Mahesh Chandra Kushwaha addressed the situation, clarifying that there would be no legal actions taken to the villagers’ actions. He clarified that if an animal is killed by a person in such a circumstance, no legal action is taken against him.
