As per reports, the bed was draped with a mattress while a mat had been put over it. The family of Dhirendra Rout slept on it for the whole night.

Like usual, last night Rout slept on the bed with his wife and two children while the mosquito net was also hanged.

Yet at dawn, realizing that something was moving under the mat, he tapped his hand on the mat and soon assumed that there was a snake under the mat.

He immediately awoke his wife and told her to take the children and move away. After everyone got off the bed, a two-and-a-half-foot long snake came out from under the mat.

The family was shocked to witness the snake. The man immediately informed the snake helpline members. The snake helpline members rushed to the spot and caught the snake. Later they released it into a lonely place in the nearby hilly area.
