THRISSUR: Shajan was shocked when he opened the door of his house early morning at 5 am. He had an unexpected visitor, an alligator in front of his house and seeing it he soon ran inside and closed the door. The panicked family immediately informed the officials of the forest department. Shajan’s house is near the Athirappilly River in Thrissur.

Though the forest department reached his house, the guest was not willing to return to the forest. They tried for one and a half hours but their efforts proved to be in vain and the expected visitor refused to budge. They later sought the help of the locals and then drove the alligator back to the river.
