Panic grips in Kota hostel as venomous cobra found in toilet bowl, watch

In a scary turn of events on September 14, resident doctors at the postgraduate (PG) hostel on the premises of MBS and JK Lone Hospital in Kota’s Nayapura area faced a nightmare scenario. A venomous black cobra had slithered into the hostel, sending panic waves among the young doctors who rushed out of their rooms in fear.

Snake Emerges from Toilet

According to reports, the reptile entered the hostel through a bathroom commode. Doctors first spotted the snake inside a toilet bowl, its hood spread wide. A video from the scene, now circulating online, shows the cobra slithering away after being sprayed with a jet spray, before crawling out onto the bathroom floor.

Resident doctor Mudit Sharma recounted the frightening moment. “I went to use the toilet in the morning and saw the snake sitting there with its hood spread. I immediately informed others,” he said, describing the horror of finding a cobra inside his hostel room.

What began as an ordinary night at the doctors’ hostel turned into a nerve-racking encounter with one of India’s most feared reptiles.
