A man sleeps on a cot in Lakhimpur Kheri, UP, as a crocodile lies underneath it

In a hamlet in the Uttar Pradesh region of Lakhimpur Kheri, a crocodile was discovered under a cot. Amazingly, a guy somehow slept on top of the crocodile the whole night without realizing its existence. It was discovered in the bedroom. This strange occurrence took place in Lala Ram’s home close to the Bhira Police Station. The crocodile was lying beneath the crib when the family members woke up in the morning, shocking them. They hastily left the home out of concern for their safety and quickly informed the locals. A throng gathered to see the event, and the police and forest department were quickly alerted.

Unfortunately, the authorities were unable to get at the scene in time. After almost an hour and a half of battle, the locals decided to rescue the crocodile by themselves. They made an effort to put the crocodile in a bag after carefully securing its mouth with a rope. The authorities came and took charge of the issue by the time they were able to capture the reptile.

The crocodile was taken into custody by the forest authorities and released into the Sharda River. The crocodile is said to have left its environment due to floods caused by the river and severe rains. Thankfully, nobody was hurt in this event, and the crocodile was safely released back into its native habitat.

Such situations are unquestionably unsettling, particularly when they include venomous creatures like crocodiles that pose major risks to people’s safety. Given the elevated danger of flooding caused by India’s unusually excessive rainfall this year, it is imperative to exercise caution and vigilance.

The incident’s video rapidly went viral, and online users voiced their worries about similar circumstances. Nobody would welcome such an unexpected visitor in their home, thus it is crucial to exercise caution and notify the police right once in the event of any sightings.
