Acting on a tip-off that the trio were waiting in an Innova car to sell the snake to a potential customer, the police nabbed the trio.

The two-headed snake – claimed to be worth lakhs of rupees – as well as the Innova car has been confiscated. A case has been registered in Panambur police station under Wildlife Protection Act.

Regretting that the people in Mangaluru were falling prey to such superstitious beliefs, the City Police Commissioner said that efforts are being made to create awareness so that people are not duped by such persons selling charms.
