Nightmare turns real

To end these nightmares, he approached an astrologer who advised Raja to perform some rituals at a nearby temple.

At the temple, he was asked to stick his tongue out thrice in front of a Russell¡¯s Viper and mimicked the snake¡¯s tongue-flickering motion.

But as Raja did this, the snake bit him on the tongue and the temple priest saw him and made a cut on his tongue to 'rescue' him.

Raja who was 'saved' from the poisonous snake, however, collapsed immediately due to profuse bleeding.
