In a remarkable display of presence of mind, a son in Munger district, Bihar, saved his father's life after he was bitten by a snake. Not only did he rush his father to the hospital, but he also brought the snake, captured in a bottle, which had bitten him. This incident occurred in Afjalnagar village, under the Tarapur police station area of Munger.

55-year-old Sadanand Singh, a resident of Afjalnagar village, was working in his field on Tuesday morning when a venomous snake bit him. His health quickly deteriorated. Upon learning of the incident, his son, without delay, managed to capture the snake in a bottle. He then immediately took his father to Tarapur Sub-Divisional Hospital.

At the hospital, doctors promptly began Sadanand Singh's treatment. The snake brought by the son proved crucial, helping the medical team identify the snake species and the nature of its venom. This enabled them to administer the correct anti-venom and treatment protocol. Doctors confirmed that Sadanand Singh's life was saved due to timely hospital arrival and the presence of the snake for identification. After a few hours of treatment, his condition stabilized.

This incident highlights the importance of taking swift and appropriate action when a snakebite occurs. Doctors have urged people to take snakebite victims to the nearest hospital immediately and, if safely possible, bring the snake for identification, but without risking their own safety.
