Monkey-man of Delhi

[1][2][3] In May 2001, reports circulated in New Delhi, India concerning a monkey-like creature that attacked people at night.

[5] The appearance of Monkey-man in Old Delhi is the centre-point of the 2009 Hindi film Delhi-6 directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

In the film, the creature is used as an allegory to represent the evil that resides inside every man alongside God (virtue).

In 2012, the Hindi TV series Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein featured a story track around the mystery of "Kala Bandar" (Black Monkey).

In the 2011 graphic novel Munkeeman by Tere Bin Laden director Abhishek Sharma, the creature is interpreted as a misunderstood superhero, who was the result of a science experiment gone wrong.
