Hassan: In a tragic yet heroic incident, a pit bull named Bheema lost its life after bravely fighting a 12-foot-long cobra that entered a poultry farm in Kattaya village, Hassan district. The dog, known for its courage, tore the venomous snake into 11 pieces before succumbing to its injuries.

The cobra was spotted slithering into the farm owned by Shamanth Gowda. Upon noticing the threat, Bheema, along with another dog named Ruby, a female Doberman, immediately attacked the reptile to protect the farm's residents, including Gowda's family and laborers.

Eyewitnesses reported that Bheema displayed remarkable aggression and agility, grabbing the massive snake in its mouth and biting it repeatedly. The battle lasted for 40 minutes, during which the cobra inflicted a fatal bite on Bheema’s nose. Despite the venomous attack, the pit bull continued to fight until it finally tore the snake apart.

Shamanth Gowda revealed that this was not Bheema's first encounter with dangerous reptiles. "Fighting with snakes was not new for Bheema. He had killed around 15 poisonous snakes in our plantation before," he said.

A chilling video capturing the intense fight between the pit bull and the cobra has surfaced online, garnering widespread attention. The visuals show Bheema leaping at the snake and biting it repeatedly while Ruby assists in the attack.

Although Bheema lost its life, the dog successfully prevented a potentially fatal snake attack on the farm’s residents.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.

She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.

Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."

Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
