A homeowner in Janampet village, under Srirangapur mandal, was taken aback on tuesday when he discovered a crocodile next to the lavatory. Following a five-hour rescue mission, volunteers from the Sagar Snake Society and forest officials caught the crocodile, which were then released into the River krishna near Beechupally.
Around 3.45 in the morning, the owner of the property, Naganna, heard barking from street dogs and came to notice the crocodile. It is possible that the stray dogs drove the crocodile into the house from the neighbouring Ramasamudram stream. The home owner immediately dialled 100, which prompted the Sagar Snake Society and forest officials to take notice.
Beat policeman Ramesh notified the volunteers, who then proceeded to Naganna's residence under the direction of forest officials and home Guard krishna Sagar. To prevent an assault, they first attempted to obstruct the crocodile's vision by covering its nose with a cloth. Later, they tied the snout with a rope. According to krishna Sagar, the founder of the Sagar Snake Society, the crocodile was successfully trapped, taken from the village in a gramme panchayat tractor, and released into the River krishna near Beechupally.

Approximately 300–400 crocodiles are washed away during the rainy season as the River krishna flows downstream via the karnataka projects of Almatti and Narayanpur. According to him, they attempt to seek refuge in the agricultural fields of the villages in telangana and andhra pradesh that border the rivers. He said that as the river's water levels rise, spotted deer and blackbucks, like crocodiles, also show up in huge numbers in the settlements from upstream regions or from the islands.
