Aye and they both share the letters B and P with a random letter in between. Coincidence? I think not.

Sounds a bit fishy to me - fighting monkeys on the first floor!?!

Everyone in India knows not to go near the big ones - close windows etc etc.

I think you will find the Russian KGB had a training programme to turn monkeys into efficient and savage assassins. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Monkeys kill Delhi deputy mayor

Delhi has long struggled to cope with the marauding monkeys
The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi died on Sunday after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys.

SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.

The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.

The High Court demanded the city find an answer to the problem last year.

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

The city has also employed monkey catchers to round them up so they can be moved to forests.

But the problem has persisted.

Culling is seen as unacceptable to devout Hindus, who revere the monkeys as a manifestation of the monkey god Hanuman, and often feed them bananas and peanuts.

Urban development around the city has also been blamed for destroying the monkeys' natural habitat.

Mr Bajwa, a member of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is survived by his wife and a son, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
