Unable to eject the bottle, the snake was in distress until locals alerted volunteers via a ‘snake helpline’. Responders promptly arrived, safely extracted the bottle, and released the snake back into its natural habitat.

'A Common cobra swallowed a cough syrup bottle in Bhubaneswar & was struggling to regurgitate it.
