An Indian man was arrested for allegedly killing his wife and two-year-old daughter by releasing a poisonous cobra into their room.
The incident took place in Odisha’s Ganjam district in the village of Adheigaon.
The 25-year-old male, identified as K Ganesh Patra, was having a marital dispute with his wife K Basanti Patra, 23. They married in 2020 and had a daughter named Debasmita.
According to NDTV, the male allegedly bought the cobra from a snake charmer, saying he would use it for religious purposes.
On October 6, Ganesh allegedly released the snake from a plastic jar in the room where his wife and daughter slept.
They were both found dead with snake bites the next morning while the father claimed to have slept in another room.
Ganesh told his neighbours that a snake entered his house and had bitten his wife and child.
The villagers killed the snake and rushed the mother and daughter to a nearby hospital where they were declared dead.
