A minister in Uttar Pradesh was bitten by a rat but he was shellshocked believing it was a snake.
State Minister Girish Chandra Yadav was allegedly bitten by a rat during his stay at the Circuit House in Banda.
The minister suspected that he had been bitten by a snake and was admitted to a hospital. Since there is a dense forest around the circuit house, the minister felt he had been bitten by a snake.
He was finally discharged on Monday morning after the doctors examined him.
Yadav, who is minister of state for sports and youth welfare, was in Banda on an inspection visit.
