Raipur: Consider the horror of waking up in a bed in your own house to find yourself sharing that home with not a few bugs or mice but a coven of full-grown cobras. This is precisely what occurred in the village of Deori, located 12 kilometres away in the Arang region near Raipur in Chhattisgarh, when a resident of the village, Indra Kumar Sahu, came across a scene that was right out of one of the mythological tales.
Indra Kumar saw two small snakes in his home a few days back. Assuming that it was because of the rainy season, during which time snake sightings have been reported to be common in rural areas, he took them out, removed them and released them outside. But lo! the following day, even more serpents were seen. He told the other people of his village about this not being a one-time occurrence. A snake catcher was summoned, who was a pro who knew how to control these things.
Nothing could have been more astonishing than what happened next.
To find the place where this reappearing of snakes was happening, the snake catcher started tapping the stone tiles of the room to hear where there were gaps or holes. Suspicion came in when it was noticed that there was a missing area that appeared like a cavity. After the tiles were taken down, they left the house shocked- they found a complete set of snake pits hiding under the floorpans. The cobras lived not only under the houses; there were two grown-up cobras (a male and a female), but another 35 baby snakes as well.
The family did not waste any time, and the burrows of snakes were dug out very carefully; the tiles were broken. By using Dial 112, the local authorities were alerted to the incident, and the Arang police later reached the scene. The snakes were effectively recovered and subsequently brought to a forest that was near their place of incident.
The townspeople have since branded the house as Naglok (serpent world), a nightmare and pretty hallucinatory event that nobody foresaw.
