Monkeys become heroes after saving minor girl from being raped

A rape attempt was foiled by monkeys when they attacked a suspect who was trying to rape a minor girl playing outside her home, it emerged on Tuesday.

According to Indian media reports, the incident took place in Uttar Pradesh, where a man abducted a 6-year-old girl from her home and attempted to rape her.

The monkeys roaming the area intervened, attacking the rapist and causing him to flee in panic.

The victim's father reported the incident to the police, stating that his daughter was playing outside their home when a stranger approached and abducted her.

When the girl returned home, she shared the entire ordeal with her family, explaining how the monkeys had attacked the assailant, who left her unharmed before fleeing.

“The man could be seen in nearby CCTV footage, walking on a narrow lane with my daughter. He is yet to be identified. He also threatened my child that he would kill me,” the minor girl's father said.

 “My daughter would have been dead by now if the monkeys had not intervened,” the father added.

The police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the suspect and are actively making efforts to identify and apprehend the accused, who is believed to be a young boy from a neighbouring village.
