In a jaw-dropping incident that has stunned both locals and medical professionals, a 2-year-old boy in Bihar, India survived a potentially deadly encounter by biting a venomous cobra to death.
What Happened?
The child, Govinda Kumar, was playing near his home in Bankatwa village when a three-foot-long cobra approached and wrapped itself around his hand. According to his grandmother, Mateshwari Devi, the toddler didn’t scream or run — instead, he fought back in a way no one could have imagined. “He grabbed the cobra and bit its head,” Devi told local media. “We saw the snake coiled around his hand, and he had the snake’s head in his mouth. We immediately separated them.”
Critical Condition & Medical Response
Moments later, young Govinda lost consciousness, likely due to venom exposure through his mouth. He was rushed to a nearby health center and then transferred to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Bettiah for emergency care. Dr. Saurab Kumar, a pediatrician at GMCH, called it a “highly unusual case”, noting that: “His face and mouth were swollen, which indicated a reaction to the venom. Thankfully, the venom didn’t enter his bloodstream, which could have been fatal.” Govinda received anti-allergy treatment and was monitored for 48 hours. After showing no signs of further complications, he was safely discharged. The snake, however, died instantly from the trauma caused by the child’s bite.
Why This Case Is So Rare!
Snakebite cases spike during India’s monsoon season, but doctors say this is the first time a child has survived by biting back at a venomous snake. Cobra venom is typically lethal when injected into the bloodstream, but in this case, the venom entered through the digestive system, allowing for effective treatment. Govinda is now recovering at home, hailed as a miracle survivor and a symbol of resilience in his village.
🚨 Snake Encounters on the Rise: What You Should Know
This story is a stark reminder of the dangers that wildlife can pose in rural areas — especially during rainy seasons, when snakes are more active. Always supervise young children outdoors and seek immediate medical help in case of any animal bites.

Before I began my journey into Spiritual Awakening and Spirituality; I was a former baptized, zealous and dedicated Jehovah’s Witness. Somewhere deep down in my heart and subconscious mind I had this inner-knowing and feeling that religion is NOT the answer. At least I have the understanding that there is more than meet the eyes…it was not easy to leave a religion that claims to be better than every other ones; but with my determination to embrace my Higher Self, my Magical Divine Self—I summoned up courage and left Jehovah’s Witness in 2013. I could not have made a better choice! The effort and determination was worth it. You can read more about my journey of how I left religion and Jehovah’s Witness.
