\u00a0<\/b>A 70-year-old man was allegedly stoned to death by monkeys in a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat – an incident that has put the police in a fix as his family wants an FIR to be registered against the monkeys.<\/p>\n
The incident took place on October 17 in Tikri village in UP’s Baghpat district.<\/p>\n
Circle officer Ramala Rajiv Pratap Singh told news agency PTI that the 70-year-old was sleeping near a stack of bricks when some monkeys cam and started jumped on it. Soon, the stack of bricks collapsed and fell on Dharampal, leaving him injured.<\/p>\n
Dharampal was taken to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n
Giving a different account of what happened, Krishnapal Singh, the brother of the 70-year-old, said that Dharampal was collecting wood for a ‘havan’ (ritual) when he was attacked by the monkeys. Bricks were thrown at his head and chest, Krishnapal Singh said.<\/p>\n
“We have submitted a written complaint against the monkeys, but the police is terming it as an accident,” he said.<\/p>\n
He said they will now meet senior officials and request them to initiate action in this regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
