The Discovery Channel will shine the spotlight on a Mumbai police constable who has been rescuing snakes for nearly two decades. Murlidhar Jadhav, who is attached to the DCP Zone 5 office, was recently approached by documentary filmmakers who wished to highlight his daring activities.

Interestingly, Jadhav had no inclination towards catching serpents, until he was bitten by a cobra when he was eight and family members had to run from pillar to post as anti-venom was not available in his village Lohara in Jalgaon's Pachora taluka.
