A tragic incident has emerged from Telangana’s Kamareddy district, where a man reportedly died after performing a dangerous stunt involving a cobra. The 20-year-old, identified as Shivaraj, was captured on video putting the venomous snake inside his mouth. The stunt, which was meant for a social media post, ended fatally when the cobra bit him while he was recording.
The Stunt and Its Consequences
In the unsettling video, Shivaraj is seen standing in the middle of a road, with the cobra inside his mouth. Throughout the recording, he looks at the camera, makes hand gestures, and even shows a thumbs-up—all while the snake attempts to free itself. The video concludes with the snake’s head still lodged in his mouth.
According to reports from Telugu Scribe, Shivaraj and his father were involved in capturing and killing snakes for a living. They had caught the cobra earlier and decided to film it for WhatsApp groups. Unfortunately, the snake bit Shivaraj during the video, leading to his death.
Social Media Reactions
The video has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with users expressing shock and disapproval. Many questioned the rationale behind such a dangerous act. Comments included, “This is so scary, but why would he do that?” and “RIP. I wish it weren’t like that, but doing these things for reels always proves fatal.”
