Some police officers started to make a connection between the sighting calls and New Delhi's frequent power failures. They suspected that some residents called the police every time there was a power failure because they believed police would be forced to restore power before starting a search. Two portrait sketches, based on the creature's victims, suggested it was human. One showed a swarthy broad-faced bearded man with a flat nose, thick lips and a piercing stare. The other, which could hardly have been more different, portrayed a narrow-faced man with a receding hairline, a scrappy moustache and dark glasses.
Monkeys run wild in New Delhi and on the outskirts of the city.
Sometimes they pounce on unsuspecting pedestrians or enter houses. Police suspected the terrorizing creature was an animal, but the city's zoo director, P.S. Bonal ruled out the possibility. However, nine out of ten sighting are bogus. Apparently, everybody wants his moment of glory. These bogus sighting are making it impossible for us to get to the bottom of the matter.
