Shah Rukh Khan's iconic Mumbai home Mannat witnessed a surprising incident after two snakes were spotted inside the premises. A rescue team safely caught one non-venomous Indian rat snake, while the second escaped
Shah Rukh Khan's Mumbai residence Mannat witnessed some unexpected commotion on Monday night after two snakes were spotted inside the premises. A snake rescuer, Vicky Dubey, received a call at around 8 pm about the sighting.
After receiving the information, Dubey alerted Forest Department Round Officer Deepak Dada Gaikwad and the control room of the Mumbai Range Office in Thane. When the rescue team reached Mannat, they found one snake hiding under the stairs in the courtyard.
The snake was identified as a roughly eight-foot-long Indian rat snake, commonly known as a dhaman. It is non-venomous and does not pose the same danger as a venomous snake. The team carefully rescued it from the premises.
