The incident occurred in the New Colony area of Bahrawanda Khurd town in Sawai Madhopur. People in the area were shocked to see the crocodile entering a house. Locals informed the forest department officials and a rescue soon reached the spot. The rescue team in charge Rajveer Singh said that after two hours of hard work, the crocodile was rescued.
Singh said that crocodile came out of a nearby pond and entered the house through the drains. He said that heavy rainfall increased the water level of the pond and hence the animal came into the populated area to find an escape. He further informed that the crocodile has been released into the pond again.
A large crowd of people from the nearby area had gathered to witness the rescue operation. People were much relieved after the reptile was brought under control.
