Bhubaneswar: A woman hailing from Balabhadraprasad village under Rajnagar block in Odisha’s Kendrapara had on Saturday evening a narrow escape from the jaws of a 15-feet crocodile, reports said on Sunday.
The woman identified as Chhaila Das sustained grievous injuries in her right hand in the crocodile attack and was admitted to SCB medical college and hospital in Cuttack.
