A 15-year-old girl died and her sister was injured when they fell into a dry well after being attacked by angry monkeys in India.
Sapna and her sister Sadhna, 19, sank into a well in Nai Nagla town in Uttar Pradesh two days ago while they were working on the terrace of their house.
After the ordeal, locals took them to the hospital. Sapna died during treatment, while Sadhna remains in critical condition, the Indian Times reports.
Sadar Kotwali police station house officer Vijay Kumar said, “The girl’s family did not lodge any complaint and were not interested in the post-mortem.” The authorities were informed of the incident.
His father Shiv Kumar, an e-rickshaw driver, said, “The administration should capture the monkeys.”
After the savage attack, locals took Spana and her 19-year-old sister Sadhna to the hospital. Sapna passed away during treatment, while Sadhna remains in critical condition, according to a report
In November, a 10-year-old boy was mercilessly killed by a monkey after it ripped out his intestines in an attack that took place near a temple in India.
Police said the boy, identified as Dipak Thakor, was killed by a “notorious gang” of monkeys while he and his friends were playing near a temple in Salki, a small town in the western state of Gujarat.
He and his friends were attacked, and a monkey managed to get its claws into him before killing him.
Although he was taken to the hospital, he tragically passed away before doctors could treat him.
In the attack, his intestine was torn out. He ran to his house and was taken to a hospital where doctors declared him dead upon his arrival,” an official told local media.
The official added that this was the third attack by the monkey gang that week alone.
In March last year, a 70-year-old woman died in southern India after being attacked by a pack of angry monkeys while on her way to the bathroom.
Chataraboina Narsavva was at home in her village in Kamareddy district of Telangana state when the aggressive creatures pounced on her.
The pensioner, who lived with her daughter in Ramareddy village, was alone at the time of the attack.
Her daughter, who had been away to attend a wedding, later took her mother to the hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Instead of being mauled by the animals, police said Narsavva slipped and hit her head on the ground, the Times of India reported.
He suffered the injuries that later caused his death while trying to escape the crowd of monkeys, according to a local police inspector.
