The monkey was first
spotted in the village three days ago. The primate chases down anyone who it finds alone. According to locals, the monkey has been destroying their grains and stealing foods apart from damaging other stuff in the houses and around.
Whenever the villagers chase the simian away, it sneaks into a jungle nearby but makes sure it returns again to carry out what it does the best: monkey business.
