A 10-year-old boy has been kil;;led by a monkey in India after it tore his intestines out.
On Tuesday, November 14, as the child, named as Dipak Thakor, and his pals were playing near a temple in Salki, a tiny town in the western state of Gujarat, they were attacked by a group of monkeys known as a "notorious gang."
According to Mail Online, he and his friends were attacked by the 'notorious gang' of monkeys, before one of the animals dug its claws into him.
The child was taken to the hospital immediately, but sadly, he di''ed before the medical staff could attend to him.
'His intestine was ripped out in the attack. He rushed to his house and was taken to a hospital where doctors declared him de;;ad on arrival,' an official told local media.
The officer went on to say that this was the monkey gang's third attack in just this week.
Vishal Chaudhary, a forest official, stated that he and his group had been attempting to apprehend the de;adly animals for some time.
'We have rescued two langurs in the past one week, and set up cages to trap another langur,' Chaudhary said.
The town is home to a sizable population of monkeys, four of which are adults and have engaged in assaults within the last week.
'Two of them have been rescued. Efforts are on to cage another.'
