In panic, they called a local amateur snake catcher Jagabandhu Padhy, who is over 60 and has immense experience in rescuing snakes.

Jagabandhu came with an assistant and caught the snake tactfully. He gently held the agitated cobra by its tail and persuaded it to enter a gunny sack on its own.

He later released at a nearby jungle.
