An 11-foot Indian rock python was rescued from near a slum pocket in the Kalanagar area near Bandra-Kurla Complex on Friday morning after it was found constricting and killing a cat.

The incident was reported to snake rescuer Atul Kamble of NGO WAPRA at around 8.38 am on September 18. According to Kamble, a resident spotted the python coiled around the cat and, distressed by the sight, contacted him for immediate assistance.
