Seven Python Hatchlings Rescued From Utility Duct Near SEBI Bhavan in Mumbai's BKC

Seven python hatchlings were discovered inside a utility duct on a footpath near SEBI Bhavan in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex on Monday evening. The BKC Police Station alerted the Vapra Foundation about the hatchlings emerging from an internet duct onto the pedestrian pathway.

Snake rescuer Atul Kamble and Police Constable Sachin More responded immediately and rescued all seven baby pythons along with one wolf snake. All snakes were confirmed to be non-venomous. The quick action prevented the hatchlings from reaching a nearby busy roadway where they could have been killed.

Following Forest Department guidelines, the rescued reptiles will be released back into their natural habitat. A video of the rescue operation circulated on social media.
