While most people kill snakes when they see them, in Tezpur, a young man Sourav Borkotoky saved this python by removing a bangle that had been tied to his body for two years. Snake couldn't even eat well because of this trap. But it's amazing how this bangle stuck to the python?? pic.twitter.com/qJwrl9acqK
