A 72-year-old man by the name, Dharampal Singh, has been reportedly stoned to death by a group of monkeys.
According to reports, Singh who had been collecting pieces of dry wood before the incident in Tikri, Uttar Pradesh, on Thursday, was hit by a rain of bricks by the monkeys from a treetop.
The police who confirmed the incident said 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.
Mr Singh’s family are said to have put in a formal complaint about the incident to police.
The victim’s brother reportedly told the the media, “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.
