In a purported video capturing the incident, the appearance of the snake startled everyone present, except Chief Minister Baghel, who appeared unfazed by its presence. Baghel can be heard saying, “Mat maro, mat maro” (don’t hurt it) and assuring others not to be alarmed as it is just a snake.
While people around him, including his bodyguard, exhibited fear, Baghel intervened and remained composed throughout the situation.
