A viral video of a king cobra being rescued from a house in Uttarakhand by forest officials is making rounds on social media. A Rapid Response Team from the forest department found the snake under a table in the house and rescued it.

The video was shared by Indian Forest Services officer Akash Kumar Verma on Twitter who has credited the video to the District Forest Officer of Nainital. The two-minute-22 second clip shows a snake catcher catching hold of the snake from under the table. After securing the hold of the reptile, the snake catcher takes the king cobra to the rooftop of the house as people take pictures and videos of the reptile.
