On September 26, 2026, a stray monkey broke into a liquor shop at Udra Manjhi Chowk in Ranchi, guzzled half a bottle of vodka and fell asleep on a crate.
Shop staff initially tried to shoo the animal, offering biscuits before the monkey seized a bottle, smashed the cap and licked the liquid.
Customers who witnessed the event recorded the scene, and footage quickly spread on Twitter under the hashtag #RanchiMonkey.
The shopkeeper, Mr. Singh, noted that the monkey had been seen licking discarded bottles in the area for days, and he urged authorities to improve security.
