Chandrapur: Panic spread in a hotel in Maharashtra’s Chandrapur when an 8-foot long python was found inside a potato box on Tuesday. The massive reptile was found inside a box of vegetables kept at the hotel in Lohara near Chandrapur. In a video, the non-venomous snake can be seen coiled on top of some potatoes.
