While people rushed him to the hospital, but he died before he could be given an anti-venom injection.
Manmohan rescued snakes, particularly poisonous ones, as his profession for the past 10 years. He would also offer treatment to people bitten by snakes. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get the right treatment for his own and succumbed to it.
