The Forest Department registered case against famed snake catcher Vava Suresh for conducting class aided by exhibition of live cobra, at Kozhikode Medical College. Vava has been booked under sec 2 and 9 relating to wildlife protection.
The trouble causing incident happened during a state conference on snake bites, organised jointly by the Clinical Nursing Education Unit and Nursing Service Department at IMCH hall at Medical College premises.
SFI held its own protest over the occurrence saying, it is condemnable to have brought in a person whose snake handling techniques are neither safe nor scientific.
