Man repeatedly kicks monkey on street, leaves it to die in filthy space
Of the two men involved in the crime, one continuously harassed the animal without any guilty while the other stood by his side without any questions or efforts to stop him.
The video caught on camera, a man repeatedly kicking the monkey despite it crying and screaming in pain. It showed the monkey being hit with a stick on the street and then kicked into a muddy pond that was dumped around with garbage, where it gave up and lost its breath to the tragic torture.
Police action follows
An FIR has been reportedly registered against a man identified as Rizwan, a resident of Dawri village, under sections of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. Talking to the media, Faizganj Baheta SHO Siddhant Sharma said that the accused is absconding and the police teams are trying to nab him at the earliest.
Monkey attacks in the area
Did the people revenge monkey attacks in the area by the above act? Several incidents of nuisance due to the animal were reported from Badaun in the recent past including a 45-year-old farmer falling to death from his house's terrace after being chased and attacked by monkeys this May, followed by a woman losing her life to the monkeys this Tuesday after they jumped on her during her household chores at the roof.
