In a bizarre incident that took place in Maharashtra's Buldhana district, a man allegedly threw a snake inside the cabin of a petrol-pump owner after the latter refused to give him fuel in a can. The incident, which was captured on the CCTV, took place at a petrol pump on Malkapur road in Buldhana.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the nation-wide lockdown, the government has put a ban on giving fuel in a bottle, can or drum. The customer visited the petrol pump and demanded fuel in a can. When the owner refused to give fuel, the man threw a venomous snake inside the cabin and ran away from the spot, reports Mumbai Mirror.

Later, a snake rescuer was called to catch the reptile. The petrol pump owner has filed a complaint against the unidentified person. The police investigation is underway and the cops are on the lookout for the culprit.
