Bahraich: A python was found in a paddy field in an area of Bahraich, causing panic among villagers. According to information, local residents informed the forest department.
The forest department team reached the spot and attempted to capture the python.
Later, the python was released into the forest.
Such incidents are frequently reported in the area — pythons have been spotted near villages or schools before.
There might have been water or mud in the field, which made it difficult to capture the python. (Reports of similar cases have also emerged from other locations where pythons could not be caught due to swampy conditions).
The forest department conducted a rescue operation, likely attempting to safely capture the python.
Ultimately, the python was likely caught and released into a forest or safe area. (This is a common practice of the forest department)
A similar incident occurred in the Bichhiya police station area, where people spotted a 12-foot python, which the forest department caught and released into the forest.
Some reports stated that the python had previously threatened or attempted to swallow an animal, causing panic in the field.
