Monkey menace is quite common in many parts of India, where they snatch items from people and sometimes trespass into homes in search of food. Recently, a monkey snatched the spectacles of a district magistrate in Mathura’s Vrindavan.
A video of the incident was shared on Twitter by Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Praveen Kaswan. It shows the DM, Navneet Chahal, and several policemen gathered under a building and figuring out a way to retrieve the glasses. Some monkeys can also be spotted jumping around the building. After keeping the men on their toes for some time, the monkey finally gives back the glasses.
“If you had not seen someone more powerful than District Magistrate of a District in India. Monkey snatches glasses from DM Navneet Chahal in Vrindavan, Mathura. After some pleading, the monkeys returned the glasses,” the caption read.

The clip prompted some to share their encounter with the notorious monkeys.
Happened to me! I was sitting in an auto and from nowhere a monkey came and snatched my glasses and went up a pole. A small boy came in few seconds, threw up a Frooti for the monkey and the monkey dropped the glasses. The boy asked for 50Rs. The episode lasted for hardly 5min

A person wrote that the monkeys frequently snatch items and one should treat them with food to get them back.

The DM was definitely not the only one to have fallen prey to monkey’s pranks.
