Mathura man carries snake in pocket to hospital after being bitten
Mathura (UP) (PTI): An e-rickshaw driver walked into the district hospital here with a 1.5-foot-long snake in his pocket, which had allegedly bitten him, an official said on Tuesday.
A purported video of the incident has also surfaced on social media.
Deepak (39), a local, was bitten by the snake on Monday and came to the hospital for an anti-venom injection.
In the video, when he was asked about the snake that had bitten him, he pulled the reptile from his jacket's pocket and put it back again.
The patient said that he had come to the hospital around 30 minutes ago, and alleged that there are no facilities in the hospital.
"The patient was told to leave the reptile outside as it was putting the lives of other patients in danger," Chief Medical Superintendent Neeraj Agrawal said.
Police were called later, who rescued the serpent. However, it is suspected that the snake belonged to Deepak, the CMS added.

सांप ऐसा वैसा नहीं- एकदम फ़नधारी
आदमी जिला अस्पताल में खड़े होकर चिल्ला रहा था कि उसका इलाज नहीं हो रहा।
तभी एक ने कहा - कहां है सांप? तो उसने जैकेट के अंदर से जिंदा सांप निकाल कर दिखा दिया।

Patna-bound IndiGo flight makes emergency landing at Lucknow due to bad weather
Lucknow (PTI): Adverse weather forced an IndiGo Kolkata-Patna flight to make an emergency landing at Lucknow airport on Friday, airport sources said.
According to airport officials, weather conditions in Patna deteriorated suddenly on Friday afternoon, affecting flight operations.
IndiGo flight 6E 6917 from Kolkata, which was scheduled to land in Patna at 3.50 pm, could not land due to bad weather and kept circling in the air after failing to get clearance from air traffic control, they said.
The flight was later diverted to Lucknow and landed safely at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport at around 5.15 pm. There were 180 passengers and six crew members on board, officials said.
The aircraft was later allowed to depart for Patna after weather conditions improved.
