Monkeys reportedly kidnapped a 4-month-old baby and threw him off a roof in India.
According to DNA India, the infant’s father, Nirdesh Upadhyay, 25, and his wife were on their rooftop with their 4-month-old son Friday in Bareilly when several monkeys attacked them.
Upadhyay’s wife managed to escape the unhinged monkeys, but the troop cornered him. He tried to run off, but dropped his son as he did, leaving one of the animals to scoop up the boy and toss him off the rooftop.
India Times reports that an investigation into the deadly incident is reportedly underway. The dead boy is survived by his parents and one sibling. The family had been prepping for the child’s naming ceremony when the fatal attack occurred, reports indicated.
