Telangana Man Dies After Putting Cobra’s Head Inside Mouth To Be Famous

A man, who put the head of a Cobra inside his mouth to record a video, has died. The incident occurred in the Kamareddy district of Telangana and the man has been identified as Shivaraj, who was 20 years old.

In the video going viral, Shivaraj is seen putting the cobra in his mouth while standing in the middle of a road. The snake trapped in his mouth is seen wriggling to escape as he continues to stare at the camera with his hands folded and, at one point, even running his hands through his hair.

With the reptile’s head still in his mouth, he gives a thumbs-up as the video comes to an end.

According to reports, Shivaraj’s father and he were employed as snake rescuers. They also managed to catch this snake, and his dad requested him to record a video and share it on WhatsApp groups. Sadly, the snake bit him instantly, killing him. Many on social media expressed their displeasure at the video, questioning why the young man would put a cobra in his mouth.

A user wrote, “People are so reckless with their lives”.

Another said, “Nonsense act. Lost life for a reel.

In July, a video of a man ‘hypnotising’ a snake, also surfaced. The video begins with a man kneeling closer to a Cobra that is ferociously looking at him. As the reptile slithers closer to the man, he begins to stare at the snake with unwavering focus. For a while, the guy and the snake engage in a stare-off. Then the man raises his hand in front of the snake.

Surprisingly, the snake does not strike the man and simply stares. He guides the snake to the side by placing his palm on the back of its head. Then, in an unexpected action, he grips the reptile’s head from behind. The clip’s most noticeable feature is the unusual-looking cane the guy is carrying.

While hypnotising the snake, the man gently exhales smoke from his mouth. It is expertly constructed, with a Cobra’s body coiling up around the stick and appearing hauntingly genuine.
