Snake Enters Bank in Delhi, triggers Panic
New Delhi, 4/2: A four-foot-long Asiatic water snake, entered a bank in Delhi’s New Friends Colony on Thursday, triggering panic among staff. The snake was found curled around the handrail of the staircase leading to the basement, a bank official said.
The authorities immediately called NGO Wildlife SOS which send two snake rescuers to the location. The snake has been released back into the wild.
“Though non-venomous, keelbacks turn aggressive when threatened, and may bite in retaliation or self-defense. Caution needs to be maintained while carrying out such rescue operations,” Wildlife SOS co-founder and CEO, Kartick Satyanarayan said.
