Three-year-old Devunuri Abhinav was playing under a tin roof when a pack of monkeys threw a stone on her head, locals say. The child could not be saved.
The story is also terrible because six months ago, Devunuri almost died, falling with her throat on a knife. To save the life of their daughter, the parents hardly collected six thousand dollars for the operation. The girl went through a long rehabilitation and only recently fully recovered from her injuries.
According to the portal, monkey attacks on people in India have begun to cause serious concern among the population. According to residents, every year the primates are becoming more aggressive.
For example, in March of this year, a flock of monkeys attacked a pensioner and knocked her down. As she fell, she hit her head and died. Last year, primates attacked and bit a five-year-old girl who was playing by a pond. The baby died from her injuries. In 2021, monkeys stole two eight-month-old daughters from the apartment of a resident. One of them managed to be saved, and the second was killed by animals.
This is not a complete list of victims, the newspaper notes. Almost every year, primates are responsible for the death of people.
