New Delhi: A bizzare incident involving a monkey and a parked car in Varanasi’s Visheshwarganj area has become the talk of the internet. On Tuesday afternoon, a monkey leapt from a rooftop onto a parked car, shattering its sunroof. The impact sent the primate directly onto the car’s backseat, but in an almost choreographed move, it quickly jumped back out through the damaged sunroof and onto the road, seemingly unbothered by the chaos it left behind.
The incident was captured on video and has since gone viral. The 10-second clip has amused netizens, with reactions ranging from concern for the monkey’s safety to jokes about how the car owner might explain the bizarre accident to their insurance company.
