In a bizarre and tragic turn of events from Sihora village in Uttar Pradesh, panic has gripped locals after a female snake allegedly attacked three people over three days, reportedly in retaliation for the killing of its male counterpart. The attacks left 35-year-old Manoj dead and two others critically injured, sparking fears of a ‘revenge’ strike that villagers claim is both rare and unsettling.
The turmoil began during the naming ceremony of Manoj and Durgesh’s newborn daughter on July 2. Durgesh’s brother Sachin, visiting from Hathras, killed a female snake found in Manoj’s house with a stick.
Following Sachin’s departure, another black-coloured female snake appeared inside the house four days later, causing commotion among the residents. Despite sightings both inside and outside the house, villagers initially ignored the snake.
On Wednesday night, Manoj was sleeping with his family when he was bitten by the snake at 4 a.m. Thursday morning. Panic ensued as Manoj’s health deteriorated despite efforts by exorcists. Though he was rushed to a private hospital and advised to go to Jaipur, Manoj tragically died en route, leaving his family devastated.
On Saturday, Manoj’s brother-in-law Dinesh visited to offer condolences. That night, Dinesh and Manoj’s elder brother Pappu shared a bed when the snake returned at midnight and bit them both.
The incident caused further commotion, spreading fear throughout the village. Exorcists were summoned again, capturing the snake and locking it in a box after four hours of rituals. The snake’s terror had gripped the village, but both Dinesh and Pappu were promptly sent to hospital and are now reported to be in stable condition.
