Due to the heavy rain that causes flooding in the rivers, many aquatic and semiaquatic life is seen on the land during that time. Most often the news of crocodiles roaming on the road, in public places, or seen near residential areas surfaces on the internet from many parts of the country. A similar incident took place in Vadodara, Gujarat where two men were captured carrying a large crocodile on their scooty. The two men found the crocodile in the Vishwamitri river in Vadodara amidst the heavy rain.
As per media reports, two men are identified as Indian Medical Association (IMA) volunteers who are carrying the crocodile found in the river to the forest department office.
The viral video of them was posted by @DixitGujarat on X (formerly Twitter) in Hindi which when translated into English says, “Even the crocodile will remember the thrill of a ride on a two-wheeler. Two young men are taking a crocodile from Vishwamitri river to the forest department office.” The clip was recorded by the riders moving behind them.
