| Sandeep |
A 23-year-old Indian man, Sandeep, got bitten by a snake
when he went to gather woods from the forest on 24th July.
He told his family about the snake bites when he returned to
the village.
He was then taken to a traditional tantric practitioner in a
nearby village and was assumed dead when the tantric’s treatment proved
ineffective.
As some people in India claim that people who die of snake
bites should be buried instead of having their body burnt, the villagers were unsure
what to do with Sandeep.
In the end it was decided that his body was to be taken to
the local cemetery where a funeral pyre was prepared.
When the fire was close to his body, he started shouting and
people realized he was still alive.
Sandeep was again taken to the same tantric practitioner but
he could not be saved, and the tantric declared Sandeep dead for the second
time.
He was taken to the district hospital where a post mortem
examination took place.
