This incident serves as an example of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be useful during emergencies. A head constable was bitten by a snake in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Puran Sikarwar, who works at the Bijouli police station, was bitten twice on the hand by a venomous krait that was hiding in his bed while he slept in his government quarters. The incident occurred on Thursday night. When he shouted for help after the bite, Station In-charge Saurabh Srivastava and other staff members rushed to the scene and initiated rescue efforts.
Upon spotting the snake on the bed, the Station In-charge first took a photograph of it and gathered information using AI. First aid was administered based on the AI’s instructions. Following the precautions suggested by the AI, the police personnel immediately rushed the head constable to Jayarogya Hospital. Doctors examined the photograph, identified the snake as a krait, and administered the appropriate antivenom treatment. Ultimately, Sikarwar survived the ordeal; his condition is currently stable, and doctors report that his health is gradually improving. The constable’s life was saved thanks to the staff’s presence of mind and the assistance of AI.
