5-month-old dies of cobra bite as parents seek ‘naag devta’ blessing
RAIPUR: Stung by superstition, a family lost its five-month-old newborn when they handed her to a snake charmer in Rajnandgaon, seeking blessings of 'naag devta'. The cobra bit the infant, but he told them it wasn't poisonous and kept doing the rituals for two hours while the baby's breathing kept getting shallower. By the time they took her to hospital, she was beyond help.
Police say a snake charmer, Billu Ram Markam, turned up at their doorstep and asked them to give the baby for "blessings of 'naag devta'." Since the baby wasn't keeping well, the parents gave in. To the family's shock, Billu put the snake around the baby's neck where it coiled up and bit her. He told them that he had defanged the snake.
The neighbours nabbed Billu and handed him to the police.

Iran warns of ‘uncontrollable consequences’ after energy site strike
Qatar warns residents of ‘Elavated’ threat
Tehran/Doha: Iran’s President Massoud Pezeshkian has warned that attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure could lead to “uncontrollable consequences” affecting the entire world.
In a post on X, Pezeshkian said he “strongly condemns” the strikes that targeted the South Pars gasfield earlier in the day.
“Such aggressive actions will not achieve anything for the American Zionist enemy and their supporters. Rather, they will complicate the situation and could lead to uncontrollable consequences that will affect the entire world,” he said.
Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has urged residents to remain indoors due to what it described as an elevated security threat.
Authorities have not provided further details, but the advisory comes amid growing concerns over the safety of energy infrastructure and civilian areas in the region.
