Overview
- Residents in the Maheshwar Building compound in Dahisar West alerted authorities after spotting a large snake inside a parked car’s engine compartment.
- Wildlife rescuer Sameer Gupta opened the bonnet, carefully removed the nearly seven-foot python, and secured it in a bag while onlookers filmed the rescue.
- The snake was taken for a medical check, declared healthy by wildlife officials, and released into nearby Sanjay Gandhi National Park with no reported injuries to residents.
- One report named the car as belonging to a relative of resident Sunny Kamble, but that detail comes from a single local source and is less corroborated than the rescue facts.
- Sanjay Gandhi National Park borders dense suburbs and native snakes sometimes enter urban spaces or vehicles; officials say people should call trained rescuers rather than try to remove large reptiles themselves.
