Puttur : A poisonous adult snake appeared in a college classroom in Vitla College on Monday and bit a student, when a lecture was going on. The subject was science, but snakes do not attend classes, much less on science matter. One fails to understand if this snake came in search of someone.
The lecturer was holding the class on ecology and was explaining how many types of snakes there were. At this moment, the poisonous snake made its entry to browbeat the students. A BSW second year student, Hemachandra, was bitten in the melee that followed, when frightened students ran helter-skelter. The snake went from class to class and lifted its hood in the ecology class, it is stated. The lecturer prevented the irate students from killing the snake which escaped.
