In a startling event in Betia, Bihar, a one-year-old child managed to bite a venomous cobra, leaving many astonished. The incident occurred in the village of Mohachhi Bankatwa in the West Champaran district, where the snake was killed on the spot. However, shortly after the encounter, the child lost consciousness.
