The incident occurred while the child, Govinda, was playing near his home. A cobra came close to him and reportedly entered his hands. In response, the child bit the snake, which died on the spot.

A one-year-old boy in Bihar’s Bettiah village bit a cobra to death after the snake reportedly coiled around his hand while he was playing near his home. The child, identified as Govinda, fell unconscious shortly after and was rushed to the hospital.

Locals said the cobra had slithered too close, possibly agitating the infant. In what they described as a reflexive act, the child sank his teeth into the snake, killing it instantly.
