“Snake rescue in Pondicherry, Puducherry fire and rescue service,” reads the caption posted along with the video. The clip opens to show the man approaching a snake. Slowly, he puts a jar on top of the creature. Then he goes on to use his bare hands to nudge the snake to get inside the jar. Once the reptile completely crawls inside, he uses a paper sheet to move the jar from its upside down position - with the snake inside. At the end, he screws back the lead of the jar.
