A man has paid a snake back in its own coin after it bit him in his sleep; he pursued the creature and bit it back thrice, killing it.
The incident took place in the Rajouli area in Nawada, India.
The man, identified as Santosh Lohar, is a labourer working on the railway line project in Rajouli.
It was gathered that he was sleeping at his base camp on Tuesday night when a venomous snake bit him.
India Today reports that instead of panicking, an enraged Santosh grabbed the snake with an iron rod and bit it back, not once but three times, ultimately k+lling the snake When asked about his unusual response, Santosh explained, “In my village, there’s a belief that if a snake bit£s you, you must bite it back twice to neutralize the venom.”
