Senior Superintendent of Police Shalabh Mathur told IANS that the arrested men, identified as Sukhveer, Neeraj and Manoj, are from Barabanki district, some 30 km from the state capital Lucknow.
"They have confessed that the rare snakes were headed for sale in a Delhi market and that the price of the snakes was estimated to be about Rs.two crore in international market," Mathur said.
