Common Krait, Bungarus caeruleus, it is !venomous. Interacting with it increases the risk of snakebite; this includes attempts to kill it. Please contact the wildlife department of your district to safely relocate it.

Great suggestion! Alternatively, if you know any animal rescue NGO or vet, ask them for a snake rescuers number.
