He was frequently cautioned by onlookers about the cobra’s threat, but he seemed unmoved.
A man who boasted about catching a snake was tragically bitten by it three times. Later, he passed away. In spite of the crowd’s concerns, 50-year-old Raj Singh is shown in a video going viral on social media raising a 6-foot snake over his head.
Raj disregarded their warnings and kept walking around with the snake, which eventually bit him several times.
An old man wanders about with a cobra
In the video, Raj Singh is seen repeatedly bragging about his bravery while wearing the cobra around his neck. As he continues to move the snake, the old guy repeatedly yells, “Aise bhi koi veer hai duniya mein?” The man ignores the warnings of onlookers about the dangers the snake poses to him.
In the video, the cobra can be seen moving around. Surprisingly, the snake even tries to bite the man while clinging to his headgear. When the snake grabs Raj Singh’s cap, the surrounding crowd yells. The old man, however, appears unfazed and continues to carry the snake.
The snake will not move when a man tries to assist Raj in removing the creature from his cap. In the last moments of the video, Raj is seen strolling around with the snake around his neck as others run away from him.
You Won’t Believe What Happened Next
Despite repeated warnings from the crowd to release the snake or call the authorities, the man refused to listen. Instead, he proudly displayed the reptile draped around his neck like a scarf. The situation turned tragic when the cobra bit him three times. Raj’s health rapidly worsened, and he was rushed to the hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
How Did People Online React?
As the video spread online, many viewers criticized the elderly man, with some harshly calling him “a proper idiot.” One user commented, “Khatarnaak saanp ke saath khelna… kaunsi veerta hai… yeh sirf bewakoofi hai.” Another wrote sarcastically, “What a journey… ‘Veer hai’ to ‘Veer tha.’” Reacting to the clip, a social media user asked, “Kaha se aate hai yeh log?” while another questioned, “Was he drunk?”
The reactions made it clear that many people saw the man’s actions as reckless and foolish. Others pointed out that dealing with venomous snakes is a highly sensitive task and that reptiles like the king cobra should only be handled with extreme care.
