BAREILLY: A five-year-old boy who was playing on the roof of his house accidentally fell after he was attacked by a troop of monkeys in the Jagat village in the Alapur area of Budaun district on Sunday evening. He was immediately rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The boy Nikhil's father, Nekram, is a farmer and lives in a joint family. Nikhil was playing alone on the roof when he was attacked. He couldn't find a way to escape and fell while trying to run. He received many internal injuries and became unconscious.
Sanjay Singh, SHO of the Alapur police station, said, "A minor boy died after he accidentally fell from the roof of his house. His family had refused to send the body for autopsy. Since it was an accident, we didn't force the family to do the same."
Earlier, a 52-year-old farmer was killed in a monkey attack at the Kadar Chowk in the town on August 31 and a 35-year-old woman was killed after she also fell from the roof of her house in a bid to escape monkeys in July.
