An injured snake, which was found in Dahisar in Mumbai on Friday underwent an MRI scan for its broken spine. It is now recovering after treatment. The snake, a bamboo pit viper, was found beaten with sticks in Dahisar. The venomous serpent was spotted by a local hawaldar, who handed it over to Anil Kubal, a snake rescuer.

The serpent was taken to the clinic of veterinary doctor Deepa Katyal in Chembur where it was found its spine had got damaged. The snake was then assessed for actual damage to the spine and for that high-end technology such as MRI was used. Radiologist Dr. Ravi Thapar carried out the MRI scan for the bamboo pit viper.
