Video: Devotees Panic After 12-ft-Long Python Spotted At Shiva Temple In Bijnor

A 12-foot-long python entered the Shiva temple located in Madi village in the Heempur Deepa police station area of Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor district on Tuesday. As soon as the people present in the temple saw the massive python, panic broke out. In no time, a large crowd of villagers gathered outside the temple.

According to reports, the python remained in the temple premises for about an hour and a half. It was seen sometimes climbing on the walls and sometimes crawling on the floor. Many villagers captured this scene on their mobile cameras, and the video is also going viral on social media.

Upon being alerted by villagers about python's presence, the department's team promptly reached the spot and began the operation to rescue the python with complete caution.

After about half an hour of effort, the forest department team safely caught the python. Regional Forest Officer Mahesh Gautam said that the python was not harmed in any way and was safely released into the forest area.

After the python's safe rescue and release into the jungle, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. However, an atmosphere of chaos and confusion persisted in the temple premises for quite some time after this incident.
