A video has emerged of a python being rescued after it was found near a store in western India.

Residents of Maharashtra's Ratnagiri when shocked to find the reptile hanging from the shutter of a shop on September 25.

Visuals show a man trying to unwrap the python while another man helps him by closing the shutter.

When the python is finally unwrapped from the shutter, it tries to escape but failed as the man held its tail tightly.

Next, the man tries to put the python in a bag, however, the python starts wrapping itself around his arm, making the job difficult.

Aware that he can't do this alone, the rescuer asks another person to hold the bag, while, the python is seen continuously trying to wrap itself around the man's arm.

The man finally puts the python in the bag, first its body and then the head and closes the bag.
