Marking a significant shift in Monkey-Gang violence, the Deputy Mayor of Delhi, India, was the object of a “mob-style” hit by Rhesus Macaque monkeys on Sunday, October 21. S. S. Bajwa, the Deputy Mayor, was relaxing in his home on his balcony when the alleged hit took place. After ‘roughing him up’ for a period of time, neighbors report that a large group of Rhesus Macaques then tossed him off of his balcony, and he later died of head injuries.

Monkey-on-Man violence has recently been a growing concern among officials in the Indian Government. The most violent perpetrators of these attacks have been the notorious Rhesus Macaque gang in Delhi. Having started in small time crimes such as black-market fruit trading, the Macaques (known on the streets as the RM) have escalated their illegal activities to include protection rackets, illegal drug distribution, and, some now speculate, strong-arming city officials and the police to turn a blind eye to their ever increasing profits and crimes.
