Horror As Monkeys Stone Man To Death In Broad Daylight
A
72-year-old man Dharampal Singh, has died in India after a group of monkeys
threw bricks at him from a tree.
Singh had
been collecting pieces of dry wood before the incident in Tikri, Uttar Pradesh,
on Thursday.
Police said
monkeys rained bricks on the man from a treetop after collecting them from a
nearby dilapidated building, the Times of India reported.
The elderly
man later died in hospital from sustained head and chest injuries.
Villagers
have repeatedly complained about aggressive monkeys in the area, but the
animals are a protected species.

family are said to have put in a formal complaint about the incident to police.
The victim’s
brother reportedly told the newspaper: “Monkeys threw more than 20 bricks at
Dharampal on Thursday.”
He said they
will now meet senior officials and request them to initiate action in this
regard.
