Monkeys attack rapist, rescue 6-yr-old girl

A troop of monkeys rescued a six-year-old girl from a rapist. The child was playing outside when the man lured her into an abandoned building.

However, monkeys attacked the man, forcing him to flee.

The group of monkeys reportedly stopped the man from raping the six-year-old in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat.

According to The Times of India, the incident took place on Saturday after the accused lured the child to an abandoned house in the city.
The victim, a kindergarten pupil, narrated the incident to her family and informed them of how the monkeys saved her.
According to the victim’s father, she was playing outside their house when the accused took her to an abandoned house.

He then took off her clothes and attempted to rape her, when a group of monkeys aggressively attacked the man, forcing him to flee.

“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. My daughter would have been dead by now if the monkeys had not intervened,” the girl’s father said.

Following the incident, the victim’s parents filed a complaint at the nearest police station.

The police have registered an FIR under BNS sections 74 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 76 (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe).

They also file the Pocso Act against the accused, Baghpat Circle officer Harish Bhadoria told The Times of India.
