Several people recorded this incident and shared on social media claiming that the size of the croc was at least 10 feet.
As per the video, officials who came to capture the reptile covered its head with a cloth and sought to immobilize its limbs to prevent any potential attacks on the rescue team. Subsequently, ropes were employed to secure its legs, with four forest officials gripping the ropes attached to the crocodile’s head and front legs, while another official looped a piece of rope around its hind legs.
Additional personnel lifted the crocodile’s tail while others secured a rope around its mouth, as depicted in the videos of the operation.
