A snake was discovered creeping amid the overhead luggage aboard the Jan Shatabdi Express traveling between Bhopal and Jabalpur, causing panic.
The snake was discovered on the Jan Shatabdi Express two days ago, and the incident is being investigated, West Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Harshit Shrivastava informed PTI.
The area where the train was cleaned has been sanitized, and staff have been placed on watch.
Furthermore, the Railway Protection Force is conducting a thorough investigation from all viewpoints. The possibility of an outsider releasing the snake inside the train’s carriage is also being investigated.
Last month, a live snake was discovered in an AC coach of the Vasco-da-Gama Weekly Express travelling from Jharkhand to Goa on October 21. Several passengers spotted the snake slithering near the curtains of a lower berth in an AC 2-tier coach and took videos of it. The snake was caught and removed from the train with the help of IRCTC staff, who responded promptly to the situation.
In a similar incident in September, a long snake was found coiled around the iron bar that held the upper side berth of the Garib Rath Express going from Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur to Mumbai.
An incident in April took a dangerous turn when a passenger was allegedly bitten by a snake on the Madurai-Guruvayur Passenger Express. The passenger got down at Ettumanoor station and shifted to the Medical College Hospital.
