Cobra found hidden inside motorcycle tire in Ghaziabad Modinagar

The record

Written from the 5 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.

A cobra was found coiled inside the tire of a motorcycle in Modinagar, Ghaziabad, prompting local concern and likely intervention by wildlife or forest officials.
The incident, reported by Aaj Tak, highlights the occasional overlap between urban spaces and wildlife habitats in parts of Uttar Pradesh and the National Capital Region.
No injuries were reported, and the snake was presumably secured and relocated by authorities.
Such sightings, while uncommon in densely populated areas, are not unprecedented and often spike during monsoon or transitional weather when snakes seek shelter.
The broader coverage from Aaj Tak on the same day spanned unrelated national stories—Sonam Wangchuk ending a 26-day hunger strike, India's cricket series win over Zimbabwe, and legal developments around Brijbhushan Singh—indicating the cobra story was treated as a localized oddity rather than a major news event.
Residents in the area are advised to check vehicles and outdoor equipment during warmer months and contact local forest departments rather than attempting to handle snakes themselves.

What to watch next

Check vehicles and stored items for snakes during seasonal transitions.
Contact forest department for safe relocation rather than self-handling.
Monitor local reports for unusual wildlife sightings in urban NCR areas.
