Cobra dies after being bitten by eight-year-old boy in India
The surreal incident unfolded in the remote Pandarpadh village in India's Chhattisgarh region on Monday, when eight-year-old Deepak was set upon by the venomous reptile
- Deepak, 8, was playing in his backyard when he was attacked by an adult cobra
- The snake wound itself around his arm and sank its fangs into Deepak's flesh
- He desperately tried to shake the serpent off, before biting it back and killing it
- Forunately the snake never injected its venom into his arm and he escaped alive
- A new study released last month said more than 85 per cent of deadly snake bites recorded in 2019 happened in India
