BENGALURU: Bagalkot, Northern Karnataka has been suffering a deluge of crocodiles for quite some time now, following two years of consecutive drought. With the fall in the water level of the river Krishna, a large number of crocodiles seem to be heading towards human habitation. One of them was recently found in the sanctum sanctity of a village temple. The priest was in for a surprise when it saw the 12-feet-long reptile. He soon called a few villagers who carefully pulled out the animal and later released it into a safe place.
