Selfie with cobra proves fatal as man gets stung on head
Baburan Jakhar noticed that he was stung on his head, but was ignored by the snake charmer.
The trend of clicking selfies has gained popularity with the increasing accessibility to smartphones in age of social media. At the same time selfies have caused several deaths as incidents of young people drowning, getting run over by trains or electrocuted while trying to click daring pictures have surfaced.
A man called Baburam Jakhar also thought it was a great idea to pose for a picture with a cobra that a snake charmer wrapped around his neck. But things go horribly wrong as a video shows the reptile biting him on the head while Baburam realises it later.
