In a shocking incident in Dambal Tanda village in Uttar Pradesh, a seven-foot crocodile entered the house, sending the family into a frenzy. The unusual encounter happened when Radhe Shyam, the owner of the house, was awakened by strange noises coming from his room. News 18 reported

A recent flood in the Sharda river drove the crocodile to the nearby ponds, leading to the reptile’s appearance in his home, Radhe Shyam said.

The owner of the house also shared that after dinner he immediately went to sleep. However, around three o’clock in the morning, he was awakened by sounds. Investigating with a flashlight, he came to the shocking realization that a seven-foot crocodile was hiding in the corner of his room.

Shocked by the incident, Radhe Shyam gathered the villagers. Amidst the chaos, they informed the forest officials who arrived at the spot to rescue the giant reptile.

Officials successfully captured the reptile and released it into the Sharda River. Officials said crocodiles are increasingly entering residential areas as their natural habitat becomes compromised following a surge in construction and urbanization near water bodies.
