When Bengaluru’s Sarjapur resident, Tanvi, waited for an Amazon package, hoping to get the Xbox controller she had ordered, she received more than just that. While the Xbox controller was in the package, Tanvi got the added surprise, or rather shock, of her life when a live spectacled cobra was stuck to the packaging tape of the box.
The cobra, one of the most venomous snakes in India, was fortunately stuck to the black duct tape and was unable to move but was alive.
