The rescued reptile was later released into the Habali creek near Gupti, within the Bhitarkanika National Park.
Villagers residing near the national park have been advised to exercise caution before entering water bodies, as saltwater crocodiles often stray into rivers, ponds, creeks, and other water bodies from their natural habitat during the rainy season.
