Biker runs over snake in Uttar Pradesh, faces tough chase

The cobra sat on the bike for over an hour and a huge crowd collected at the spot



Jalaun: A young man had to face a challenging cobra chase for almost two kilometers, after his motorbike ran over the reptile's tail in Uttar Pradesh's Jalaun district.

As the young man, Guddu Pachauri, sped away, the cobra started chasing him. Finally, seeing the snake almost snapping at his heels, Guddu got terrified and ran away, leaving his bike on the road.

The cobra sat on the bike for over an hour and a huge crowd collected at the spot. As soon as anyone would try to approach the bike, the cobra would hiss menacingly.

After about an hour when the cobra refused to move away, the crowd started pelting stones at the reptile. The reptile then quietly slipped away and the people heaved a sigh of relief.

Guddu, however, said that he was still apprehensive that the reptile would take its revenge.
