NEW DELHI (AFP) - Indian police say a 16-day-old baby boy believed to have been snatched by a monkey has been found drowned in a well.
The infant was sleeping under a mosquito net at his home in the eastern state of Odisha on Friday (Match 30) when he was taken by a rhesus macaque, a species with a reddish-pink face common across India.
"The mother is saying that she saw a monkey take away her child. She raised an alarm but the monkey quickly leaped over the roof and vanished out of sight," police sub-inspector S.M. Baral told AFP.
"We launched a search along with the forest officers. Yesterday (April 1) the baby was spotted inside the well dead," she told AFP.
