Watch: Villagers in Madhya Pradesh free man from 15-ft python’s deadly embrace

A video of the incident at Kalyanpur in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur district has gone viral.

The video was shared on X.

In a heart-stopping encounter at Kalyanpur in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur district, a man narrowly escaped from the clutches of a 15-ft-long python. The terrifying moment, captured in a viral video, shows the snake wrapping its tail around his neck as he was defecating in a forest.

With sheer panic, the man grappled with the python’s mouth and cried out for help. Thanks to the swift and courageous actions of villagers who were passing by, he was pulled back from the brink of death.

As the man’s desperate screams pierced the air, the villagers sprang into action without a moment’s hesitation. By the time they arrived, however, the python had coiled itself tightly around him, turning the scene into a gripping struggle for survival.
