Planet of the Apes might be closer than you thinkThe planet of the apes might be closer than you think!

Killer monkeys in India have gone too far, when last week they took out a senior Indian government official in his own home.

New Delhi deputy mayor SS Bajwa died after being pushed off his balcony by a gang of Rhesus macaques.

Part of the problem in India is that devout Hindus believe monkeys are manifestations of the monkey god Hanuman and feed them, encouraging them to frequent public places and shove their way around.

If these monkeys could speak, they would say “I’m a GOD damnit! Feed me.”

How are they dealing with their monkey infestation? With bigger monkeys, of course. Over the years city authorities have used LANGURS, a larger, fiercer yet trainable type of monkey to scare or catch the macaques. What happens when the langurs take over? Planet of the apes.
