In a shocking incident, a man from Uttar Pradesh bit off a snake's head and chewed it as an act of 'revenge'. The man claimed that the snake bit him first, thereby provoking him to retaliate.
Prompt medical care ensured that the man did not suffer any serious injury. He did, however, fall unconscious after chewing on the snake's head. The man has been identified as Sonelal, a farmer from Hardoi.
Sonelal was tended to by emergency medical officer Dr Mahendra Verma and a pharmacist at the Moghaganj community health centre. However according to the medical professionals, while the man claimed to have been bitten by the snake, a thorough body examination did not reveal any bite marks. The medical team kept the man under observation and gave him emergency medicines.
