A video showing a crocodile wandering through the streets of Nangal Soti village in Bijnor district, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral, capturing widespread attention. The footage depicts the crocodile casually moving through the village, with one person seen kicking the reptile.
The event began when villagers, disturbed by the barking of multiple dogs in the early hours, stepped outside and were shocked to find a large crocodile in their alley. The unusual appearance quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
In a video shared on X, the scene shows the crocodile surrounded by curious residents. The reptile is seen in a standoff with the crowd, while three men attempt to coax it away by poking it with sticks. The goal appears to be guiding the crocodile away from the spectators.
