A woman while talking on the phone sat down on a pair of snakes, got bitten and died a few minutes later. The incident took place in a village in Gorakhpur on Wednesday.
Gita, wife of Jai Singh Yadav who works in Thailand, was talking to her husband on the phone when the incident took place. Apparently pair of snakes had entered the house and were playing on Gita's bed. The bed had a printed bed cover, which is why she couldn't see the snakes.
