In Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, there’s a rather unusual incident involving a man named Ganga Prasad, reportedly a dacoit recently out of jail. A video circulating widely shows him by a river, where he skillfully catches a live snake. He then calmly approaches the camera holder and swiftly catches the snake by gripping its head tightly. After ensuring the snake is no longer moving, he pauses briefly before taking a bite of the snake.  This act, captured on video, is spreading like fire on the internet. One can also notice people passing by him in the video, as they witness his unusual act.

According to reports, Prasad is a notable figure within the infamous Shankar Kevat gang in the area, renowned for their activities involving robbery and intimidation. The video in question is said to have been filmed at Kalka Ka Dera near Kishanpur Thana.

“Bear Grylls ka phupaa,” (Uncle of Bear Grylls), read another comment.

Yet another user stated, “A case should be filed against this person under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act.”

According to the Free Press Journal report, the dacoit indulged his desire for snakes after his recent release from jail, as he was accustomed to catching and consuming them from the land or river.
