A 1.5-foot-long female cobra was found inside the school bag of a nursery student at a government primary school in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district on Wednesday, July 15, triggering panic among students and teachers. The snake emerged when the child opened his bag to take out books, following which students rushed out of the classroom.
The incident took place at the Government Primary School in Chandpur village under the Rahli development block.

Teacher Rescues Snake and Releases It Into Forest
When the bag was placed on the road outside the school, the nearly 1.5-foot-long female cobra emerged. Abhay Yadav safely rescued the snake and placed it inside a plastic container. The cobra was later released into a nearby forest, according to reports. No injuries were reported among students or teachers during the incident.
The incident comes amid increased reports of snake sightings in parts of Madhya Pradesh during the monsoon season. Around a week earlier, a 15-foot-long python was spotted in Chhatarpur district, causing concern among residents in Putri Kheda village under the Ghuwara-Bhagwan police station area.
The python weighed around 25 kg. Officials and wildlife experts often advise people not to approach snakes directly during such encounters and to seek help from trained rescuers.
During heavy rainfall and waterlogging, snakes and other reptiles frequently move out of their natural shelters in search of dry places, increasing the possibility of human encounters.
