Lucknow, Aug 20: A rare incident has been reported in Uttar Pradesh's Bahrich district of Dhakiya village where a woman fought with a crocodile to save her five-year-old son from the jaws of death.
The five-year-old child was playing near the Veeru canal when a crocodile grabbed him and dragged him into the water. Hearing the child's screams, the mother Maya grabbed the seven-foot-long crocodile and used all her strength to save her son from the jaws of death.
"I abandoned my responsibility for my life and jumped into the canal. The crocodile was dragging him deeper. But I used all my strength to hold on to my son. I hit the crocodile, it thrashed. But it did not let go. Finally, when I hit the crocodile with an iron rod, it left its son and disappeared into the water.
