The snakes were seen on the field after Mohun Bagan's 3-2 win and fortunately the snakes were put aside by the local authorities before it could cause a panic.
"We had no idea about it yesterday. But I saw it the news. It sounds scary though. Thank God, we were safe," Mohun Bagan mid-fielder Denson Devadas said.
Blame it on the searing heat, about 10-15 snakes had emerged out of their pits as they roamed around freely near the dressing room staircase and on the field before the creatures were caught and put aside.
I-League CEO Sunando Dhar said,"We have instructed the authorities to take proper safety measures.
