Kanpur: Kanpur Police went into a tizzy when a woman, whose gold chain was snatched by a monkey, approached them and demanded an FIR be lodged against the monkey.

"If a person had snatched the chain then an FIR would have been registered, but we do not know against which monkey should a case be lodged," Nazirabad Police station In-charge Akhilesh Gaur said.
