A man in India has released dozens of poisonous snakes in a tax office after he claimed staff had been asking for bribes, as reported on Sky News.
Hakkul, a snake charmer, said he has written to numerous officials and even the president for land to conserve snakes. Though senior officials have cleared his request, it was being held up by other officials.
"I had to dump the snakes because DM (district magistrate) and SDM (sub divisional magistrate) told us that 'we have approved your application but lower-level officials are sitting on it'. They are demanding bribes time and again but I am unable to meet their demand,” he told the media.
“Where will I keep these poisonous snakes? I don't have space?” The forestry department was called in to remove the serpents and no one was reported injured.
