A Madhya Pradesh constable has made headlines, thanks to a viral video that shows him trying to give CPR to a snake. Yes, you read it right. The cop reportedly attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to revive a snake that had become immobile after consuming water laced with pesticide.
The shocking video was widely shared, with many praising the cop for his act. However, the role that this "kiss of life" played in reviving the reptile is suspect. A veterinarian NDTV spoke with said CPR would not revive a snake and it might have regained consciousness on its own.
The viral video is from Narmadapuram in Madhya Pradesh. The non-poisonous snake had entered a pipeline in a residential colony. When the residents' attempts to remove it from inside the pipe failed, they poured water laced with pesticide down the pipe. This knocked the snake out. Unsure of what to do next, the residents called the cops.
