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।

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
