A 12-foot-long python was found in a nursery classroom late at night. After slithering out of the classroom and into the lawn, the snake triggered an immediate response from school officials, CISF personnel, and animal rescue volunteers.
The incident occurred at Central School in Barwah, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh, on December 1,
In the footage, members of the rescue team can be seen attempting to capture the large python. After successfully securing the snake, they placed it into a bag for transport.
According to reports, the school guard alerted the Society for Animal and Welfare around 10:30 PM about the python’s presence in the nursery class. Tony Sharma, a member of the rescue team, rushed to the scene and found the reptile outside the classroom, moving toward the lawn. However, the darkness of the night made the search for the snake challenging, as it vanished into the grass.
Despite the difficulty, the rescue team, with the assistance of the school principal, staff, and CISF officers, successfully captured the 12-foot python. During the process, Tony was bitten by the snake, but thankfully, the python was non-venomous, and the bite did not pose a serious threat. Tony received necessary medical attention and was advised to take antibiotics as a precaution.
After the rescue, the python was safely relocated to a nearby forest area, with the assistance of Deputy Ranger Narendra Mandloi. Authorities have praised the quick actions of the staff and animal rescue team in preventing a possible crisis.
