FollowA perplexing situation has emerged involving a 15-year-old boy named Prajwal, who has been bitten by a snake a total of 9 times in just two months. Prajwal comes from Halakarti Village in Chittapur Taluk, Kalaburagi District. This strange incident has left both his family and the community baffled as they try to understand the unusual circumstances.
Prajwal is a 9th-grade student and the son of Vijayakumar and Usha. The sequence of events began on July 3 when he was bitten by a snake at his home in Halakarti Village. His father acted quickly by using neem leaves and salt, which saved his life. He was immediately taken to a Kalaburagi hospital for treatment.

The situation took an even stranger turn when Prajwal was bitten by another snake in the new place. Remarkably, this time the snake was only visible to him and remained unseen by his family. As a result of these repeated snake bites, Prajwal had to be hospitalized six times. His treatment involved transplant medicine on three occasions.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this case is that the snake encounters seem to be targeting only Prajwal. Although his parents saw glowing eyes in the dark once, no one else had witnessed these mysterious snakes. The most strange thing for Prajwal was that, even before he could revive from the previous snake bite, he suffered with another bite.
