CHENNAI: Police have launched a hunt for a woman who scared residents at a Tambaram locality with a cobra and collected money from them. A video of the woman handling the snake went viral, following which the police launched a search for her.
The woman was visiting households at Mappedu here, approaching people for money. At houses where people refused to give her money, she sat in the front and opened a basket she was carrying. While she started playing an instrument, a cobra emerged from the basket and slithered towards the houses. The woman appeared to be a snake charmer, and handled the snake with ease.
