The horrifying incident took place in the village of Dunka, near Bareilly in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, where Nirdesh Upadhyay stood on the terrace of his three-story house with his wife and their young son.

The family was enjoying a lazy Friday night on the terrace when a troop of primates climbed onto the roof and surrounded them.

After trying in vain to drive away the monkeys, the parents ran to the stairs in an attempt to hide, but Nirdesh, who was carrying his son, stumbled and dropped the child.

A fraction of a second before either parent had time to react, one of the monkeys grabbed the boy by the arm and threw him off the roof.

The distraught parents managed to return to the house and rushed downstairs to help their son, but the baby was reportedly killed at the scene.

The incident is currently being investigated by Shahi police station authorities and Bareilly city security chief Lalit Verma told PTI News that his team has been sent to investigate monkeys' involvement in the child's death.
Uttar Pradesh has a huge population of rhesus monkeys that roam freely in many cities in the state.

Although primates can generally live in relative harmony with the humans living in these settlements, there are a number of documented cases of monkeys attacking humans, in particular children.

In February, a pack of monkeys killed a five-year-old girl in the village of Bichpuri in the Bareilly district of Uttar Pardesh.

According to the Times of India, a girl named Narmada Kishore was playing with her friends near the Nakatiya River when monkeys attacked her and started biting her.

Narmanda's father, Nand, told the newspaper: "The monkeys were quite aggressive and bit my daughter almost everywhere. When I got to the place, she called for help.”

The girl was rushed to the local medical center, but she died from massive blood loss.

There are even cases of primates stealing cars from unsuspecting motorists in Bareilly, including one report of an ape stealing and crashing a bus.

In 2015, a primate managed to start a bus engine while it was parked in a city garage while the driver slept.

The monkey turned the ignition key and reportedly crashed the bus into two other cars parked in the garage before the driver could take control.

“The driver managed to regain control of the bus, but not before he crashed into two other parked buses,” local public transport manager S.K. Sharma.

“Monkeys have become a constant menace at bus stations and workshops, where they often tinker with vehicles undergoing repairs. They also damaged CCTV cameras at stations. Three years ago we were able to get rid of them with the help of the municipal authorities, but they came back,” he said.
