A shocking incident in the Seoni village of Chhattisgarh, has left residents in shock after a monkey snatched a 20-day-old baby from her mother’s arms and threw her into a nearby well
The infant, wearing a diaper, remained afloat for nearly ten minutes before rescue efforts began.

The event has raised concerns about child safety in rural areas with frequent wildlife encounters.

According to local accounts, the monkey entered the home as the mother fed her baby.

Upon hearing distress calls, villagers quickly gathered and pursued the animal, but the baby disappeared from sight.

During the search, residents noticed the child floating in the well, supported by her diaper, which acted as a life jacket and prevented her from sinking.

It was good that the infact was wearing a diaper. Sometimes miracles happens and luck favours a person.

But I wonder why people keep wild animals in the house when you have infact at home. She was lucky that her baby didn't die, let her send that monkey away.
