NDTV
The incident had made headlines in 2019 when a woman was killed by her daughter-in-law by getting her bitten by a snake in a village in the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to grant bail to an accused in a case where a woman was killed after being bitten by a snake.
A bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Hima Kohli was hearing the bail plea of an accused who hails from Rajasthan. During the hearing, Justice Surya Kant said, "This is a new trend that people bring poisonous snakes from snake charmers and kill a person through snake bite. This is now becoming common in Rajasthan."
Advocate Aditya Chaudhary, appearing for the accused Krishna Kumar, said, "There is no direct evidence against the accused".
It is alleged that Krishna Kumar had gone to the snake charmer with the main accused and had bought a snake for Rs 10,000.
