This is the moment a 2.5ft long cobra is rescued after it got trapped in a steel mesh escaping through a drainage outlet by a temple in India.<br /><br />The snake had swallowed a toad and got stuck in the mesh due to its bloated abdomen.<br /><br />Volunteer Mr Atul Baral rushed to the spot and rescued the snake by digging the drainage outlet with the help of bystanders. <br /><br />The snake was later taken to the College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (OUAT) in Bhubaneswar, where Dr Biswadip Jena freed the snake by cutting the mesh with a metal cutter. <br /><br />The snake then regained its mobility and regurgitated the toad.
