Two-Year-Old Boy Bites Cobra To Death After Snake Coils Around His Hands In India
In India, a two-year-old child surprised his village by killing a three-foot-long cobra with his teeth.
While playing outside his house in Bankatwa village, in the Majhaulia block of Bihar’s West Champaran district, on Friday afternoon, infant Govinda Kumar heroically repelled the poisonous snake that curled itself around his arm.
According to family members, the kid threw a brick at the snake after spotting it.
Then the cobra lunged at him, encircling his hand tightly.
In a startling turn of events, the child killed the reptile by sinking his teeth into its head.
Govinda’s grandmother, Mateshwari Devi, said, “When we saw the snake in the child’s hand, everyone rushed towards him, but in the meantime, he already bit the snake, killing it on the spot.”
The child passed out shortly after the bite.
Before being sent to the Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH) in Bettiah for specialised care, his family hurried him to a nearby health clinic.
The child’s bite is thought to have caused the cobra’s head and mouth injuries, which led to its death, according to GMCH doctors.
“The venom did affect Govinda, but not fatally.”
Dr Surab Kumar, the medic in charge of treating the toddler, said, “Timely treatment saved Govinda’s life.”
“The child’s condition is currently stable, and treatment is being administered under the supervision of doctors.”
“The medical team is treating the child, providing continuous medication, and he is under observation.”
“We were surprised and cross-checked with his parents multiple times to ensure the child was not bitten by the cobra to rule out that venom had not gone into his bloodstream,” the doctor also told The Telegraph.
Govinda is currently being monitored by doctors after receiving an anti-allergy medicine.
