Breaking News LIVE: UP Youth Bitten By Snake For 7th Time In 40 Days

Fatehpur, UP: A 24-year-old man bitten by a snake for the 7th time in 40 days.

CMO Rajiv Nayan Giri says, "... The victim came to the Collectorate and cried that he had spent a lot of money to cure the snake bite and now he requested for financial help from the authorities. I advised him to visit a government-run hospital where he could get anti-snake venom free of cost... We still need to figure out if it is actually a snake that's biting him. We also need to see the competence of the doctor who is treating him... A person being bitten by a snake every Saturday and that person being admitted to the same hospital every time, and recovering in just one day seems strange. This is why we thought of forming a team to investigate the case, after which I will tell the people the truth of the matter."
