In 2001, Delhi residents reported being terrorized by a black ‘monkey-man’ who would allegedly bite and scratch people before disappearing. The belief in the monkey man was so strong that two men had even died after jumping from balconies to escape the creature. The creature disappeared into legend as the sightings slowly reduced.
Dilli 6, a 2009 film by Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, has a subplot on the same monkey man.
