The man, Prakash Mandal, grabbed the venomous snake's mouth, wrapped it around his neck and went to the hospital.

A Russell's Viper - one of the most venomous snakes in the world - bit a man in Bihar's Bhagalpur. What he did next was unexpected.

The man, Prakash Mandal, grabbed the venomous snake's mouth, wrapped it around his neck and went to the hospital. The doctors and patients were stunned to see the man, in a dhoti, holding a snake, seeking urgent treatment in the emergency ward after being bitten.

People were recording the bizarre scene unfolding on the hospital premises. The attendants of the patients were standing at a distance from the man, fearing that if the reptile came off the man's hand, anything could happen. A man was seen holding Prakash's hand and escorting him to a secluded area to ensure everyone on the premises was safe.
