With the arrival of monsoon in India, several parts of the country are experiencing heavy rainfall leading to overflowing rivers and flooded streets, disrupting daily life. Recently, a shocking video has stormed the internet in which a crocodile can be seen crawling on the road.
As per reports, the incident was captured on the streets of Chiplun in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri. It is believed that the crocodile was washed away from the nearby Shiva river after heavy rainfall lashed the district.
In the viral video, a commuter can be seen recording the crocodile on a mobile camera as it crawls to the side of the road. While one auto-rickshaw passes by the crocodile, another auto-rickshaw driver turns his vehicle and follows the reptile. He is seen recording the video of the crocodile with his mobile camera.
The entire incident was captured by a person sitting inside a four-wheeler and as the crocodile approached close, he moved back. Well, the crocodile widens its mouth while crossing the road and it seems, it gets annoyed after the auto-rickshaw follows from behind.
A commuter can be heard saying, “Khidki band hai guys! (Windows are shut, guys!).”
While the origin of the video couldn't be verified, it is shared on X by Parveen Kaswan. Sharing the video, the user wrote, “Why the crocodile crossed the road !! A video from Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, where a crocodile on a city tour. Hope everything went safely.” (sic)
