After being assaulted by a group of 30 angry monkeys, a farmer tried to flee but ended up falling to his death from a roof.
On the evening of August 30, the 52-year-old victim Horilal from Baduan was standing on the top of his home when the enraged monkeys rushed at him.
He moved to flee the onslaught in an attempt to do so, but he fell from the roof.
He was reportedly brought to a hospital by neighbours, but the staff tragically declared him dead.
The next day, family members performed his cremation.
A victim’s family stated: “Horilal perished as a result of monkeys.”
“The government has to take action.” Every day, more than 100 monkeys prey on our crops and homes.
According to recent reports, violent instances involving monkey assaults are on the increase.
When the primates attacked inhabitants of three villages in Swarupnagar, they caused more than 50 injuries in Kolkata.
And since July, monkey assaults have been responsible for three fatalities.
On July 15, a newborn boy who was taken from his father’s arms by a troop of monkeys perished.
The primates in Bareilly threw the four-month-old from the roof of a home.
A 35-year-old lady was assaulted by a monkey on July 30 and her away two weeks later.
It follows other horrifying instances in 2021 in which vicious monkeys murdered 250 pets.
Then they dropped the animals from the tops of trees and buildings.
Residents of Majalgaon and Lavul villages said at the time that the violent actions were committed “in retaliation” for a band of canines killing one of the monkeys’ young.
In a different assault in 2020, a 13-year-old girl died after falling from a roof while being pursued by monkeys.
According to reports, the savage animals attacked her while she was gathering clothing that were drying on the roof of her home in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
She reportedly attempted to flee but slipped and fell to the rooftop.
