In a spine-chilling incident, a highly venomous cobra was discovered coiled inside a mosquito net while a man slept peacefully, unaware of the danger inches away from his head. The bizarre incident took place at Pratappur village on the outskirts of Baripada town in Mayurbhanj district.

According to locals, the man had gone to bed as usual on Monday night, but a large cobra, nearly eight feet long, slithered inside his mosquito net and remained curled up beside him through the night.

It was only in the morning that family members spotted the snake resting dangerously close to the sleeping man, triggering panic in the household....
