Monkey Snatches Bag With Rs 2 Lakh, Climbs Tree, Sparks 'Cash Rain' Frenzy in UP (WATCH)

A monkey allegedly stole a bag containing Rs 2 lakh and sent currency notes fluttering through the air, creating scenes of chaos in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr. The unusual incident unfolded on Saturday near the district court complex. 

According to local reports, a man had arrived at an advocate's chamber carrying a bag filled with approximately Rs 2 lakh in cash. A monkey snatched the bag from his hands and darted away before anyone could react.

It then climbed a nearby tree and began inspecting its unexpected prize. Believing the bag might contain food, the monkey rummaged through it only to discover bundles of Rs 500 notes instead.

What followed was a viral-worthy drama.

Perched high on the tree, the monkey reportedly tore open the bundles and began tossing currency notes into the air. As notes drifted across the road and surrounding area, stunned onlookers watched what appeared to be a literal rain of money.
