This demon , Bakasura , must not be confused with the other demon having the same name. This demon is the brother of Putana , a demon woman who tried to kill baby Krishna by breast feeding him on direction of King Kans.
After knowing the news of killing of his sister Putana by Krishna , Bakasura wanted to take revenge . He knew that Krishna and his friends will come to banks of river Yamuna with their cow herd. He took the form of a huge duck ( baka in Sanskrit ) and sat near the banks.
Krishna's friends were afraid of this huge bird. News was heard by Krishna. Krishna wanted to see the special bird .
But as he came near of it, the bird swallowed Krishna ! But because of Krishna's glowing effulgence, it felt burning sensation in its throat and quickly throw him out.
After this unsuccessful attempt to kill Krishna , now demon is trying to kill Krishna by pinching him in its beaks. At that time, Krishna caught hold of the beaks of gigantic duck and bifurcated its mouth , thus killing the demon.
