Upon discovering the deadly serpent slithering around, the panicked workers quickly ran out of the shop and called a snake charmer to subdue and capture the beast.

“As soon as we lifted the pillow, the cobra stood up with its hood spread. The sight of the giant serpent staring ominously scared us to death and we ran out of the place in fear and called a snake catcher,” a worker said.

In another video of the incident, the snake catcher can be seen charming the reptilian into a sack.

Talking to local media, the snake catcher revealed that snakes venture out of their nests due to extreme heat and humidity and sometimes make their way into populated areas in search of prey, adding that people must remain wary of venomous snakes like King Cobra and do not engage the reptile if they stumble upon it as a single bite from the deadly serpent is enough to kill a person.

The snake was later safely released in the woods witb the help of an officer of the local forest department, he said.
