A senior citizen out on a walk on Monday night got the shock of his life when he spotted a cobra slithering past him. He immediately called the Mumbai police control room, who directed Murlidhar Jadhav, 35, a constable attached to Shivaji Park police station and an intrepid snake catcher, to the spot.
