An amazing sequence of events happened in in public space recently. Much to the people's delight, a huge pile of cash was being thrown in a haphazard manner on the streets of Uttar Pradesh from a tree. Well, someone was up to monkey business for sure! And guess what, it was literally a monkey that was seen throwing huge wads of cash out of a bag. Now, we are not talking small sums of money coming out of a wallet. What we are referring to is a huge stash that was nonchalantly being thrown around with hordes of people watching in awe.

It so transired that a monkey in Sitapur stole a bag with as much as Rs 4 lakh in it, ran away with it and thereafter, started rummaging in it. In an attempt to find food in the bag, the monkey kept digging into it and pulling out wads of money and throwing it away. Yes, it was definitely raining currency notes in Sitapur that day. Moreover, this was not in some isolated area, it was in a public place - outside the registry office.

It was later revealed that the monkey snatched a senior citizen's bag containing Rs 4 lakh from outside the Vikas Bhawan Registry Office and promptly climbed  a tree to explore its loot. Perched on the tree, it started throwing away the money.

However, that is not the end of the story. With so much money flying around a mob gathered and it started picking up the currency notes in a frenzy and running away with it.

Fortunately, the monkey finally let go of the bag before it had exhausted all the money in it.

The episode has led to a case being filed at a police station in the Kotwali area.

There may well be a lesson for everyone hiding in this monkey-business - if you get a big amount of money, make sure you give some to charity!
