Husnabad (Telangana) : A family in Husnabad, Telangana, faced a series of tragic events that no parent should ever have to endure. Their two and half-years-old son, Abhinav, had miraculously recovered from a knife cut wound in his throat a month ago. But death haunted the child in the form of monkeys. The parents had spent over Rs 4 lakhs on the boy's treatment, hoping to give him a happy and healthy life. However, fate had other plans.

According to sarpanch Jillela Ashok Reddy, Devunuri Srikanth, and Rajitha from Katkur have two sons. They have slab rooms as well as a kitchen with an asbestos roof. There was an empty space between the two (b/w rooms and kitchen) rooms for air and light. They had placed a stone on the lightweight wood roof which is placed on the empty space between slab rooms and the kitchen to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

On Monday, the monkeys entered the house from an empty space. Rajita noticed and went into the kitchen to drive the monkeys out. Her son Abhinav is with her. The monkeys flew and jumped out of the house. They stepped on the roof over empty space and hastily fled from there. But a rock placed there on the temporary wood roof moved from its place and it fell on the head of the boy below. It broke his head leading to his death on the spot.
