Mumbai News: A long snake was discovered coiled around the iron bar of the upper side berth on the Garib Rath Express, which was travelling from Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur to Mumbai. A video of the incident has gone viral after being posted on social media.
A passenger in coach G 17 noticed the hissing snake and alerted fellow travellers. According to an NDTV report, the snake was later removed safely.
