A wild monkey that attacked the deputy mayor of New Delhi has been blamed for his death.
The rhesus monkey reportedly attacked S S Bajwa on the balcony of his home. He fell, hit his head on a flowerpot and later died of head injuries after trying to fend it off.
Mr Bajwa was alone at the time of the incident. He is survived by his wife and son.
Delhi BJP President Harsh Vardhan said foreign experts could be called in to “control the monkey menace” in the capital, Sify.com reported.
“Though we are not setting up any special committee on the issue, we have suggested various brainstorming ideas to revive the efforts to control monkeys and we also take experts’ help in striking balance between human beings and animals in the urban area,” he said.
Earlier this year, the Delhi High court had asked the civic authorities to move all monkeys to the Asola Wildlife Sanctuary within three months.
The MCD, which missed the deadline, sought for an extension by a year, which is yet to be granted.
