Residents of Udaipur's Treasure Town locality witnessed an unusual incident when a 10-foot python was spotted crawling near a parked car before slipping into the vehicle's engine compartment. The discovery drew a significant crowd to the location as onlookers gathered to observe the situation.
Following reports of the snake's presence, professional snake catcher Rajendra Srimali arrived at the scene with his team to handle the extraction. The operation proved challenging due to the python's position deep within the engine bay and bonnet area of the vehicle.
