An elderly woman was injured after a sudden monkey attack in Haryana’s Bahadurgarh, raising fresh concerns about the growing presence of monkeys in residential areas. The incident happened on December 26 afternoon and was caught on CCTV.

Monkeys pounce on elderly woman in Bahadurgarh

The monkey attack took place around 1:45 pm in a residential locality of Bahadurgarh. CCTV footage from the area shows an elderly woman sitting calmly on a chair when a group of six to seven monkeys suddenly surrounded her.

Within seconds, the monkeys attacked her, biting her multiple times and pulling her hair. The video also shows the woman struggling to defend herself as the animals continued the assault.


When another woman from the family rushed in to help, the monkeys turned aggressive towards her as well and tried to bite her. After a tense struggle, both women managed to escape from the spot.

As per reports, the injured woman was identified as Santosh Devi. She was rushed to a hospital in Delhi for treatment. Her condition is stable, but doctors have said she will need multiple injections.

Woman’s body found in suitcase in Kaithal drain

In a separate incident in Haryana, the body of a woman was found stuffed inside a blue suitcase in a drain in Kaithal district on Tuesday. Farmers from Sheela Khera village noticed dogs dragging the suitcase between 3 and 4 pm, according to inspector Geeta Singh, SHO of the women’s police station.

After checking the suitcase, villagers alerted the police.

Signs of strangulation, identity unknown

The victim is believed to be around 30 years old and has not yet been identified. The SHO said rope-like marks were found on her neck, suggesting she may have been strangled. Two dresses were also found inside the suitcase.

Sources said the body appeared to be several days old and was swollen due to being submerged in water. Investigators are using a tattoo on the woman’s hand as a key clue to establish her identity.

The body has been kept at the civil hospital mortuary. Police have shared details with neighbouring police stations, and a forensic team has collected evidence from the scene.

The incident has brought back memories of a similar case reported on March 1, when the body of 22-year-old Congress worker Himani Narwal was found inside a suitcase near the Sampla bus stand flyover in Rohtak. That case had triggered widespread outrage across the state.
