KANPUR: The monkey animal spirit is a powerful symbol of good luck. Perhaps this may have been the reason to train the monkey by an astrologer who nurtured it with a regular taste of liquor. Though he had tutored the one particular monkey for earning his livelihood, the simian started biting the common people that led its incarceration in Kanpur Zoo here.
As the monkey became fond of alcohol, it remains deprived of the drink and developed aggressive behaviour following the sudden death of the occultist.
It had bitten more than 250 people including one who died suddenly, as the news said. This brought the monkey life long captive life in a separate cage of the zoo. No remarkable change in its behaviour has been noted so this six years old monkey will remain confined into the Allen Forest zoo precincts.
In case it is released from prison it shall surely pose a big threat to all and sundry.
