Bhopal: A cringy video of a King Cobra that had swallowed 12 eggs, throwing up seven eggs after being held captive by a  snake catcher, has gone viral.

The incident took place in Rest House 2 of Sagar's Cantonment area in Madhya Pradesh. 

People of the locality were reportedly upset over a five-feet-long cobra constantly attacking a hen cage and swallowing eggs.
