To catch the crocodile, forest officials first covered its head with a cloth and tied its mouth with ropes. They then secured its hind legs with ropes, with four officials holding onto the ropes, controlling the crocodile’s head and front legs, and two holding its tail.

The female crocodile was later released into its natural habitat.

A video capturing the snakes coiled under a large rock was shared by news agency ANI. It progresses to show several snakes being collected in a bucket.

After taking out the snakes, Sanjib Deka told ANI, "The house owner informed me about the presence of snakes and I reached the spot. I found that many snakes were crawling at the place. I recovered around 35 snakes crawling from a newly constructed toilet of the house. Later I released the snakes crawl at Joisagar Dalani area."
