Snake, suicide bid and emotional scenes at HC

BANGALORE: Three dramatic incidents at the High Court premises kept the police busy on Tuesday. First, a water snake was spotted entering the High Court police station and was traced to the Assistant Registrar's office later.
Then, a dejected woman attempted suicide and an eighteen year old girl refused to go to her grandmother's house after the court handed her over to her grandmother. After a snake was spotted entering the Hight Court police station the police immediately summoned Rajesh, a snake catcher from Malleshwaram. However, Rajesh abandoned his search for the snake after searching for it in the entire police station. At around 1.40 pm when one of the staff of the High Court registry went to the Assistaint Registrar T Venkatachalaiah's chamber to fetch some files, she noticed the snake in between the books. The terrified woman alerted the police. The police immediately called Rajesh, who had just left the court premises, and successfully caught the snake within minutes.
