A group of ferocious monkeys terrorizing a city in India has struck again, killing a 10-year-old boy by ripping out his intestines.
Dipak Thakor, was playing with friends in the small village of Salki when he was attacked by a notorious gang of monkeys, with one of the animals digging its claws into the boy and ripping out his intestines, according to a report from The Matahari.
Thakor was rushed to hospital after the attack but tragically doctors could not save his life.
“His intestines were torn out in the attack. He rushed (back) to his home and was taken to hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival,” a local official said in a statement, according to The Sun.
The monkey responsible for the boy’s death has escaped and is responsible for several attacks, with the official saying the latest tragedy is “the third attack by a monkey in the village in a week.”
Vishal Chaudhary, a forest officer in Salki, said officials have been trying to hunt down what he described as a “huge troop” of monkeys and have managed to catch a few so far.
“We have rescued two langurs in the past week, and prepared a cage to trap another langur,” Chaudhary said, according to the report. “There is a large group of monkeys in the village, including four adults who have been involved in attacks since last week. Two of them were rescued. Efforts are underway to lock up the others.”

According to the report, dangerous encounters with monkeys are not uncommon in India. Earlier this year, a 3-year-old boy was abducted by monkeys who carried the child over a cliff. In that case, the police searched for several hours and were able to locate the child and return him to his parents safely.
