Snake bites man, he bites it back, both of them die
A 60-year-old man reportedly lost his life over the weekend from a snake bite, but not before he bit the reptile to death too, a village official said Monday.
The incident was said to have happened on Saturday afternoon in a village at Santrampur tehsil, Mahisagar district of Gujarat, India.
According to News18, the man Parvat Gala Baria was standing near a spot where maize was being loaded from a field onto a truck when he was attacked by the snake.
The village head said:
“A snake slithered out and while others there ran away, he continued to stand claiming he had caught snakes earlier.”
“He grabbed the snake which retaliated by biting him on the hands and face. However, Parvat bit back and killed the snake too,” he said.
He was rushed to a hospital in Lunawada town and then shifted to a bigger medical facility in Godhra but died later in the day from the venom injected into him by the snake, sarpanch Baria said.
Ajanwa police has registered a case, an official said.
