A five-feet-long snake was rescued from Cyberabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar's residence this morning.
The snake had sneaked into the house from the garden.
According to the information received, spotting the snake and fearing that it might killed by others, Sajjanar immediately alerted his constable Venkatesh Naik, of the Hussaini Alam police station, who is reportedly an expert in catching snakes. Venkatesh caught the snake, safely kept it in his bag, and promised that he would hand it over to the Nehru Zoological Park.
Sajjanar rewarded Naik for the good work he has reportedly been doing in rescuing snakes and then giving them a new life.
Sajjanar appealed to the people not to get scared when they saw snakes, and try to kill them. Instead they should alert the Friends Of Snakes or any person who could rescue them and hand them over to people who would preserve them, he said.
