definitely not a King Cobra. it is most possibly a phython (95% confidence) and not a Boa. the look is eveident of a constrictor (one which kills its prey by wrapping around and suffocating = constriction)
i think it is the Indian variety P. molurus.
thanks for posting.
it is a common sight in India to display snakes on streets for money, and this one is a rare one. If seen by the wildlife dept, they will be seized at once.
Greetings from Trieste,
