An Indian man identified as Raj Kumar, who was bitten by a snake got his revenge on the reptile by biting it back, killing it and chewing it into pieces,

Raj Kumar’s father told newsmen on Monday that his son was relaxing at home, enjoying a drink on Sunday, when a snake slithered into his house in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, and bit him.

“A snake bit him. So, in turn, he bit it and chewed it into pieces,” said the father, Babu Ram about the bizarre incident.

Rajkumar, who hails from Etah’s Asrauli village, was drunk when he bit the snake, India Today reported.

“My son was drunk. A snake entered into our home and bit him. And later he bit the snake and crunched it into pieces. His condition is serious. We are unable to afford his treatment expenses,” Babu Ram, father of Raj Kumar told reporters.

The man’s family took him to hospital where media said his condition was critical.

The snake that bit him was reported to have been a rat snake, which experts regard as usually not venomous.
