NEW DELHI (Oct. 21) - Wild monkeys attacked a senior government official who then fell from a balcony at his home and died Sunday, media reported.
New Delhi Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa was rushed to a hospital after the attack by a gang of Rhesus macaques, but succumbed to head injuries sustained in his fall, the Press Trust of India news agency and The Times of India reported.
Many government buildings, temples and residential neighborhoods in New Delhi are overrun by Rhesus macaques, which scare passers-by and occasionally bite or snatch food from unsuspecting visitors.
Last year, the Delhi High Court reprimanded city authorities for failing to stop the animals from terrifying residents and asked them to find a permanent solution to the monkey menace.
Part of the problem is that devout Hindus believe monkeys are manifestations of the monkey god Hanuman and feed them bananas and peanuts — encouraging them to frequent public places.
Over the years, city authorities have employed monkey catchers who use langurs — a larger and fiercer kind of monkey — to scare or catch the macaques, but the problem persists.
Thats what he gets for leaving banana peels on the balcony.

gotta love this logic... hey, we've got a problem with monkeys annoying and scaring people. i know, let's get LARGER and FIERCER monkeys to take care of that problem.
Kund doo monkees wif der wakee stikee und put dem in dee pot tuun makee der monkees stewen! Wit dee bruusen sprouten! Und dee chikee pot pie! Bork bork!
Dey should-a let me kill-a dose monkeys! Dose-a bastards took-a my princess and now she-a won't come-a back to me. She say "a once you go black, you never a-go back"!
The Death of Deputy Mayor Bajwa was one of the seminal moments leading to the coming reign of the Scions of Dooshe. I can't recall the exact chain of events, but scholars in years after the uprising deduced that if Bajwa had survived the monkey attack, things would have been much different.
Scions of Dooshe.... Have these Scions, perchance, any relationship to the late villain... Doctor Douche? I seem to recall some of his more... challenged associates using the aforementioned spelling.
