We hear bizarre stories almost everyday, but I think this one takes the cake. In a really strange incident, a drunk man bit a snake into three pieces after the reptile attacked him at his house in a village in Etah district of Uttar Pradesh, on the night of July 28.

The man - Raj Kumar - was taken to a hospital and as he arrived the doctors said he was in a serious condition. The man’s father confirmed that his son was in inebriated condition when he bit the reptile.

"My son was drunk. A snake entered our home and bit him. He later bit the snake into pieces. His condition is serious. We are unable to afford the expenses of his treatment," Babu Ram, father of Raj Kumar told ANI.

"A patient came to me and said that he bit a snake. I misunderstood as the snake bit him. His condition is serious. He has been referred to another hospital," the doctor treating the man told ANI. After the incident, Raj Kumar’s family cremated the snake.

This is not the first incident, where a man bit back a snake. A few months ago, a farmer from a village named Mahisagar in Gujarat, was working on his farm when he bit back a snake that attacked him. The man was so enraged by the attacked that he wanted to kill the snake. According to TOI, the 70-year-old man named Parvat Gala Baria picked up the snake and literally devoured it in anger.

The man's daughter-in-law told media that another relative who witnessed the entire episode, took the snake and burnt it.
