Killer monkeys crush three-year-old to death with boulder they rolled off a roof

The tragic incident involving a three-year-old boy who was killed by monkeys by dropping a large rock on him from a rooftop has shocked the small village of Katukuri in Telangana State, India. Devunuri Abhinav was playing outside his parents’ house when the monkeys rolled the heavy stone onto him, resulting in his immediate death.

This devastating event comes just six months after the boy had recovered from another accident where he fell onto a knife, causing a severe throat injury. His parents had spent a significant amount for his life-saving surgery, and he was on the path to recovery before this fatal monkey attack.

The village of Katukuri has been experiencing issues with aggressive monkeys for several years, echoing a larger problem across India where authorities are considering extreme measures, such as the release of a contraceptive vaccine to control the monkey population.

BJP MP Raj Kumar Chahar has addressed these concerns in Parliament, seeking clarity on the relief provided to victims of monkey attacks by the state. The increasing aggression and violent incidents involving monkeys have sparked a nationwide conversation about finding solutions to this growing issue.
