The video begins on a disturbing note showing a snake, probably a cobra, hanging from the mouth of a young boy standing in the middle of the road. Initially, it looks like the boy is asking for help after coming under attack from the snake.
However, just moments later, the boy is seen folding hands as a person is heard speaking in local language. The boy then folds his hands as if to make a gesture. Meanwhile, the entire incident gets recorded on a mobile phone.
This makes it clear that the boy is performing a dangerous stunt. In fact, the boy is seen running his fingers through his hair to suggest his daredevilry.
