Odisha Man Bites Snake to Death
In a bizarre case of human revenge, a 45-year-old tribal man reportedly bit a snake to death after the latter bit him in a remote village in Odisha’s Jajpur district.
In Odisha's Jajpur district a man named Kishore Badra was returning home after working in his paddy field on Wednesday 11 August night, when a snake bit him on his leg. Badra said, “Something bit on my leg while I was returning home on foot last night. I switched on my torch and found it to be a poisonous krait snake. In order to take revenge, I took the snake in my hands and bit it repeatedly, killing the viper on the spot." Following the incident he came back to his village with the dead snake and told his wife the whole tale.
Soon this became the talk of the village with Badra exhibiting the snake to his friends. Some onlookers advised Badra to visit a nearby hospital, but he refused to go to the hospital and instead went to a traditional healer to seek advice on the same night. Luckily for Badra, the snake bite and his biting the snake has seemingly had no impact on him.
This is not the first time a snake has been bit in India. It is not even the second. In Gujarat, a 60-year-old man was bitten by a snake but then the man also bit the snake multiple times. However, the man could not survive as the snake was poisonous.
