Patna, Jan 25: The forest staff rescued a 6-feeet-long python on Monday in Keonjhar district.

The python got trapped in the net of a fisherman while he was fishing in the Baitarani river at Erendei village under Patna forest range.

We got a phone call from some fishermen. They informed us that a big snake was caught in the net of a fellow fisherman. We rushed to the spot with a team of snake catchers and forest staff. The python was freed from the net and left in the nearby forest, said Patna range officer Pabitra Mohan Nayak.
