A snake charmer, who used to rear snakes at his house at Dhupail Shob village in Lalpur upazila, died from snake bite on Wednesday. Locals said Abdur Rahim, 26, known as Sarparaj, and son of Sentu Mia, reared snakes in his house in the last three years. Earlier, his snakes bit him several times, but he did not fall ill. But on the fateful day, he fell seriously sick when a poisonous cobra bit him at 8am. He was admitted to a local clinic and later shifted to Rajshahi Medical College and Hospital (RMCH), but he died near the hospital gate at 2pm on the day.
