Panic gripped fishermen when they found a giant crocodile in their net while trawling fish in eastern India's Odisha state. 

According reports, the incident took place on Tuesday (November 26) in the Digapahandi region of the state's Ganjam district. 

The video shows the fishermen trying to unbind the trapped reptile, which was tied with the ropes and later dragged for a few metres.
