Viral Video: Drunk Man Caught On Camera Playing With Cobra In Andhra Pradesh, Ends Up In Hospital

A bizarre and dangerous incident unfolded in the Kadiri area of Andhra Pradesh 's Sri Sathya Sai district, leading to a young man's hospitalization after he was bitten by a cobra . The events, captured in a viral video , have stirred significant reaction online.

The incident occurred near a college where a cobra wandered onto the premises. Madhubabu Nagaraju, who was reportedly intoxicated, decided to interact with the snake . Despite clear warnings from concerned onlookers, Nagaraju’s actions escalated dangerously. The video shows him not only grabbing the snake but also hitting its head, despite frantic shouts from the crowd to stop.

In a matter of moments, the cobra, presumably agitated by the provocation, struck back and bit Nagaraju. The situation quickly became critical as the crowd called for an ambulance. Nagaraju was rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment.

The video was shared by X user Sudhakar Udumula, who wrote, "“Despite frantic warnings and scoldings from concerned bystanders, he continued to handle the cobra with reckless abandon. The situation took a perilous turn when the cobra bit Nagaraju. Shocked onlookers quickly called for an ambulance, and Nagaraju was rushed to the hospital for urgent treatment.”

The video, which has racked up over 48,000 views, has sparked widespread outrage and concern among social media users. Many criticized Nagaraju’s reckless behavior, questioning why he was allowed to continue handling the snake despite the dangers. Comments ranged from frustration over the lack of timely intervention to expressions of gratitude towards those who eventually sought medical help.

One user remarked on the inaction of bystanders, saying, "Why is that no one taking right action ? There are few people around him. Thanks to the people who called ambulance." Another commented, "Instead of making video, someone could have pulled him aside and allowed the snake to escape. Snake was very much patient for long time."

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of interacting with wildlife, especially under the influence, and the importance of heeding warnings from those with more experience in handling such situations.
