The pensioner, who lived with her daughter in Ramareddy village, was alone during the attack.

She was making her way to the bathroom when a pack of monkeys pounced onto her.

Rather than being mauled by the animals, police said that Narsavva slipped and hit her head on the floor, the Times of India reports.

Her daughter, who was away for a wedding, later rushed her mother to hospital, where she died from her injuries.

Named as Anil, the inspector added that Narsavva had not been bitten by the monkeys during the attack.

‘We have come to know through locals that when the monkeys attacked her, she tried to escape.

‘In the process she slipped and fell down. She suffered head injury and died,’ an inspector from Ramareddy police station said.

Narsavva’s family cremated her soon after her death and police are continuing the investigation.

This terrifying attack is just one from a long list of monkey-related deaths in India, which is home to millions of primates.

In October 2020, a 13-year-old girl died after being chased off a roof by a violent gang of monkeys in India.
