Angry Santosh Lohar retaliated
35-year old Santosh Lohar, a labourer working on the railway line project in Bihar's Rajouli, was sleeping in his base camp, after the day's hard work. Suddenly he woke up in pain.He found a big venomous snake had bit him. He was afraid and at the same time, angry. Suddenly, he remembered a local myth that biting the snake back could neutralise the venom. He did exactly that.
In retaliation, he bit the snake twice, killing it then and there. Santosh Lohar survived the ordeal after receiving medical treatment.
This bizarre incident took place in 2024.
Can we call it 'an eye for an eye'?
