The monkey was caught during possible alcohol withdrawal. The situation was recorded on a national holiday, when the sale of alcohol is prohibited in India.

The primate climbed onto a motorcycle parked in Kanpur, a city in northeastern India. He did not calm down, searched the bag in the car and stole a bottle of whiskey. Information taken from R7.

The monkey desperately wants to take a sip

Not content with stealing the bottle, the monkey desperately tried to open the lid of the container to take a few sips. He tries to open it with his teeth, but cannot.

The little thief tried to steal something from a bag, but then collided with someone and fled the scene.

The situation happened on October 2, when India celebrates Gandhi Jayanti, which marks the birthday of the country’s main independence leader. During the date, the sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
