Mostly, the primates cohabit with humans peacefully, but this is not the first documented case of them attacking people.
In February, a five-year-old girl was killed by a troop of monkeys in the Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh.
The Times of India reports that Narmada Kishore was playing with her friends near Nakatiya river when the monkeys attacked her and began biting her.
Her father said: "The monkeys were quite aggressive and had bitten my daughter almost everywhere. When I reached the spot she was crying for help."
The girl was taken to hospital but died from blood loss.
