Farmer bites back snake to death in tit-for-tat attack in MP ; TNN | Jul 26, 2013, 04.56PM IST BHOPAL: An angry farmer who was bitten by a snake bit it back and killed the reptile in a retaliatory attack, in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday night. Nilabh Dhurvey chased the snake, which bit him on his right thumb, caught it and killed it by biting it to pieces. "I survived the bite only because I bit him to death," the 30-year-old Dhurvey, who lives in Macchiborgaon village, some 40km from district headquarters and 215km south of state capital of MP, told doctors at district hospital. The incident took place at around 7.30pm on Wednesday when Dhurvey, member of the Korkhu community (categorised in Primitive Tribe Group - PTGs), was returning home after grazing his cattles. As soon as the snake bit him, he pounced upon the snake and bit it to pieces - as Dhurvey told to his treating medico Dr Rahul Shrivastav, at the district hospital. "I have seen more than 200 cases of snake bites since my posting in this tribal dominated area, this was the first of its kind," Dr Shrivastav told TOI.
