A monkey in the Indian city of Rai Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, became addicted to alcohol and began robbing stores selling alcohol.
The owner of one of the outlets complained that the alcoholic monkey terrorized him and other shopkeepers. The animal becomes aggressive if you try to prevent him from taking away bottles of alcohol. In some cases, the primate has even taken drinks away from customers.
Because of its addiction, the monkey became a celebrity in the city. The footage taken by eyewitnesses shows the animal opening a can of beer and drinking greedily in front of people. Local official Rajendra Pratap Singh said that the monkey is being tried with the help of the Forest Department.
