On Wednesday, a baby cobra was spotted in a flat on the seventh floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Goregaon area.
The snake was later rescued by members of a wildlife association, an honorary wildlife warden said.
The snake was spotted in the flat in the Royal Palms housing society and soon a distress call was made to the Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW).
"A rescue team from the RAWW was assigned to respond to the distress call and help the residents who were in panic," said Pawan Sharma, RAWW founder-president who is also an honorary wildlife warden with the Maharashtra forest department.

"After searching for hours, the rescue team could not find the baby spectacled cobra," he said.
"The venomous snake was spotted again at night on the kitchen platform of the house and eventually rescued," said Sharma.
The snake was medically examined and after being found fit, released back into its natural habitat.
