In a disturbing incident captured on CCTV in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, a little boy was attacked by a group of monkeys. The footage, undated, shows the boy running through the streets of the town when two monkeys leap at him, causing him to fall. Nearby women, who were walking by, got scared and did not intervene to help the kid during the incident. However, a man ran to the boy’s rescue and successfully shooed the monkeys away. The boy was seen getting up and escaping to safety.
This undated CCTV clip was shared on X by a journalist on June 13. So far it has gathered over two lakh views. The video has shined light on the growing monkey menace in temple towns where the growing population of monkeys is leading to increased attacks on people and pets.
मथुरा में बंदरों का आतंक, 5 साल के मासूम बच्चे पर बंदरों ने किया अटैक, स्थानीय लोगों ने दौड़कर बचाई बच्चे की जान, लाइव घटना सीसीटीवी में कैद@dmmathura7512 pic.twitter.com/nUjbATcbd0— Pramod Kumar (@journalistpk123) July 13, 2024
Commenting on the video, an X user wrote, “Look at those three women who, even after seeing the monkeys attacking the child, did not come forward to save him but instead ran away. If instead of this child it had been her own child or a child of her family, would she have still run away like this?”
उन तीन महिलाओं को देखें जो बच्चे के ऊपर बंदरों का हमला देखकर भी एक बार भी बचाने के लिए आगे नहीं आईं बल्कि उल्टा भाग लीं।अगर इस बच्चे की जगह इनका या इनके घर का बच्चा होता तो भी क्या ये ऐसे ही भाग लेती।— P M (@Prabhat40981166) July 14, 2024
Another person blamed the city authorities for not managing the monkeys and wrote, “Brother, whatever you do, this is Mathura, it cannot improve, no one’s father can improve it. Mathura Municipal Corporation is a morgue, they have no concern with the problems of the city. There is no hope from the District Magistrate. It is the misfortune of Mathura and the people of Mathura have also got such a bad Municipal Corporation.”
भईया कुछ भी कर लो ये मथुरा है ये नही सुधर सकती किसी का बाप नही सुधार सकता। नगर निगम मथुरा मुर्दाघर है उन्हे शहर की समस्याओं से कोई मतलब नही। जिलाधिकारी से तो कोई उम्मीद ही नहीं है। मथुरा का दुर्भाग्य है ये साथ ही मथुरा वासियों का भी इतनी घटिया नगर निगम मिली है।— Yogendra Chaturvedi (@YogendraChatu26) July 13, 2024
Sharing a similar sentiment another person wrote, “Recently I visited Mathura and Vrindavan and the situation is so bad that it’s beyond imagination that such religious tourist places are not getting attention.”

The high monkey population in residential areas contributes to property damage and incidents of monkey bites. In rural areas, monkeys are blamed for crop and produce loss. Methods used to deter monkeys include scarecrows, langur cutouts (feared by monkeys), and chemical repellents like thimet granules mixed with sand.
