This is the shocking moment a snake catcher released a sackful of snakes in the wild and patting them away in India. The video was shot in Panchmadhi forest of Hoshangabad area near Bhopal.

According to Dailymail, the snake catcher released about 285 of them inside the forest after he checked that there were no people nearby.

Salem Khan, employed with Bhopal civic body, said: 'We chose to release them during the evening time as the earth is cooler during that time.

'If the earth is hot, it might cause problem to the snakes who always prefer to stay in cooler places. 'We released 285 rat snakes deep inside the forest after ensuring that there are no human habitats nearby.'

The 345 rat snakes and poisonous snakes were released after 4pm on September 23 after they were captured from the bungalows and house of influential people of Madhya Pradesh.
