 "Snake in a box: Jealous husband mails serpent to his wife's colleague")
In an incident that seems to be straight out of a Bollywood movie, a Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company Limited (Bescom) employee got the fright of his life when he opened a parcel that had been couriered to him, and found a live snake inside the package.
The 40-year-old employee, who works at Bescom’s vigilance department in Shivananda Circle in Bengaluru, naturally panicked, dropped the courier box and ran away, reported Deccan Chronicle .
He returned only after the snake had slithered out of the box and found a letter addressed to him inside the box. The letter was from the jealous husband of a woman colleague of the Bescom employee, and warned him to stay away from her, according to another report in The Times of India .
In fact, The Times of India report also said that the Bescom employee found not one, but two cobras inside the package.
The High Grounds police is investigating the case and has taken up a complaint of criminal intimidation, added the report.
“The employee has provided some leads which we are following. We are also in touch with the courier company that delivered the parcel. We will make an arrest in the case soon,” The Times of India quoted Sandeep Patil, DCP (central), as saying.
