Saran/ Chhapra (Bihar) Rakshabandhan is celebrated to acknowledge the bond between brother and sister. The popular belief is that the sister ties rakhi (a uniquely made thread) on her brother's wrist, who takes a pledge to protect his sister from all problems. However, one bizarre conflict became fatal. Yes, a man in Bihar's Saran attempted to tie rakhi to a pair of snakes.

Reportedly, the 25-year-old youth identified as Manmohan died as he ventured to celebrate Rakshabandhan with two snakes. One of the snakes got infuriated while the man attempted to tie rakhi on the other. It seemed threatened with the move and bit the man.  Manmohan who is a snake-charmer, was getting his sisters to tie rakhi to a pair of snakes. However, he was bit by the snake and his life couldn’t be saved. People rushed him to the hospital, but doctors declared him dead.

A video of the incident which has surfaced shows Manmohan holding two snakes by their tails. A lot of people from the village were present on the spot to see the unique rakhi-ceremony and many recorded the incident on their mobile phones. When Manmohan was trying to put ‘tika’ on one of the snakes, the other serpent crawled slowly towards him and bit his foot. He felt a sharp sting and stands up abruptly to inspect his foot, but seemed fine for a few minutes. However, later, he was hospitalised after the snake bite and died during treatment .
