Yes, these are Comodo Dragons, they live freely near water resources in many Asian countries, they are non poisonous and shy lizards, they hardly encounter with human, but small animals they swallow, they may harm you by a bite (their mouth contains bacteria’s) if you fight them!

Monitor Lizard, called Gosap in Bengali. They are very shy reptiles, please don't vilify them.

No, monitor lizards are not poisonous. In fact its an endangered species under wildlife protection act.

It's so strange that these Monitor Lizards are seen in residential areas now. Few days back, one came in our sector too in Faridabad and officials had to be called to nab it. I guess it's poisonous too
