In a frightening incident, a man from Uttar Pradesh woke up to a rude shock when he found out that a cobra slithered its way into his jeans while he was sleeping.

Footage shows the rescue operation where Kumar's trousers are removed and the snake is caught. He had to stay at the same spot without moving for seven long hours.

The incident happened on July 31 in Sikandarpur village in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur, where Kumar and other labourers were installing electricity poles and wires.
