Once the reptile was out, Ajay Giri spoke to the family members as everyone was terrified in the family. Next, the team went to a jungle where the snake was released. 

"A king cobra (~9ft long) was sighted inside the bedroom of a house. Owner got worried and called incharge forest department officials. ARRS was informed about the situation. Over the call we instructed locals about do's and don'ts and rushed to the place. After inspection we found the snake inside a metal box. The snake was gently bagged. We conducted an onsite awareness program for the local community. Later the snake was released into the wild in the presence of in-charge forest department officials", the video was captioned.
