Man dies after getting bitten by snake while posing for pictures with the reptile

Baburam, 42, has died after getting bitten by a snake. Baburam wanted to take a photo with the reptile and the snake charmer, Indraram Suthar, 34, tried to get the snake to stay on the man's neck when the snake's head went too close to Baburam's temple.

The snake charmer removed the snake from him then and kept on trying to work on the snake, probably to subdue it while Baburam waited. After a while, Baburam touched his temple again and again but he and the others did not seem alarmed.

They were unaware that the man had been bitten by the snake, until much later.

The snake charmer took the victim to a nearby temple and tried to treat him on his own for about two hours. When the victim was not improving, he was rushed to local hospital where he was declared dead. The snake charmer has now been arrested by police.
