She immediately called her neighbors, but no one dared to chase away the 5-foot-long snake. Jitendra Sarathi of the Wildlife Rescue Team (Nova Nature) was informed. After the rescue, the snake was safely released into the wild. Jitendra Sarathi arrived at the scene with his team and, with utmost care and skill, safely rescued the snake. They captured it using special equipment and placed it in a bag. After the rescue, the snake was safely released into its natural habitat, bringing a sigh of relief to the family.

Archana Kanwar, the homeowner, said she had gone into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While turning on the gas, she heard the hissing sound.

Seeing this, she ran out of the kitchen screaming and alerted the neighbors.
