In November, a 10-year-old boy was mercilessly killed by a monkey after it ripped out his intestines during 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 village in the western state of Gujarat.
He and his friends were attacked and a monkey managed to dig its claws into him before killing him.
Although he was taken to hospital, he tragically died before doctors could treat him.
'His intestine was torn out during the attack. He rushed to his home and was taken to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival,” an official told local media.
The official added that this was the monkey gang's third attack that week alone.
In March last year, a 70-year-old woman in southern India died after being attacked by a pack of rampaging monkeys while on her way to the bathroom.
Chataraboina Narsavva was at home in her village in Telangana's Kamareddy state when the aggressive creatures attacked 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 for a wedding, later rushed her mother to 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.
She suffered the injuries that later killed her when she tried to escape the gang of monkeys, a local police inspector said.
