Wildlife rescuer Goutham Bhagat said, “When I saw the snake with a bulge in its stomach. I thought the Cobra must have swallowed something big that it was not able to digest. But I didn’t have an idea that it would spit out an empty soft drinks bottle. I have asked many people as to why the snake would have swallowed the bottle. But I didn’t get a satisfactory reply from anyone. I hope somebody could give me a logical reply for this.”
