The monkey quickly climbed a tall neem tree with the bag. Perched high above the ground, it tore open the bag and began throwing INR 500 notes into the air, creating what onlookers described as a "money rain" outside the court premises.
A video of the incident, now widely shared online, shows currency notes fluttering down from the tree while people gathered below rushed to collect them. Some passers-by were seen picking up and pocketing the notes, prompting the distressed lawyer to repeatedly appeal for the money to be returned.
