AI Tool Saves Gwalior Cop Bitten Twice by Venomous Snake
A police officer in India was resting in his home when a dangerous snake came inside and bit him twice.
His friends at the police station quickly took a picture of the snake.
They used a smart computer program called AI to find out what kind of snake it was.
The computer's answer helped the doctors know how to treat him.
He was taken to one hospital and then another for more care.
Doctors gave him special medicine called anti-venom.
After that, he began to feel better.
The police also safely caught the snake so it could not hurt anyone else.
Different people thought the snake was either a black cobra or a common krait, and both kinds are very dangerous.
This story shows how helpful technology can be when people act fast in an emergency.
Head Constable Pooran Sikarwar was bitten twice by a venomous snake inside his government quarters in Gwalior around 9 p.m. on August 13–14.
Station In-charge Saurabh Srivastava photographed the snake and used an AI tool to identify the species and the potential effects of its venom.
The AI-generated information was shared with doctors before Sikarwar reached the hospital, where anti-venom and other treatment were administered.
Sikarwar was initially treated at Jai Arogya Hospital and later shifted to Apollo Hospital; his condition, initially serious, improved and stabilised.
Reports differ on the snake species, identifying it as either a black cobra or a common krait, both venomous with neurotoxic effects; the snake was later safely caught by police.
