Bihar Farmer Carries Rescued Crocodile to Police Station Before Forest Department Arrival
In Bihar's Supaul district, farmer Amit Kumar rescued a nearly five-foot crocodile found in a paddy field. After villagers safely restrained the reptile by tying its snout, Kumar carried it on his shoulders to the local forest department office, which was unattended, and then to the Bhimnagar police station. The police informed forest officials, who later took custody of the crocodile, confirmed its health, and released it into the Kosi River. The incident, captured on video, has gone viral on social media.
