Representational picture

A monkey on Wednesday snatched a bag filled with Rs 2 lakh from a father and daughter at the entrance of Indian Overseas Bank at Dhankaran intersection in Navi's Mandi in Agra. The incident took place when Thana Naai Mandi Halka Madan resident Sarraf Vijay Bansal went with daughter Nancy to deposit the money in the bank.

The bank's guard, along with the father-daughter duo, chased the monkey but couldn't get the bag. The monkeys, however, tore up the bag and scattered Rs 60,000, which were recovered. "All my life's savings have doomed. I am bankrupt now," said Bansal.
