Monkey Business at Jewish Girls’ School in Calcutta

By Gabriel Sanders June 21, 2007

India’s Express News Service reports:

Much to the amusement of students and teachers, a monkey sneaked into the campus of Jewish Girls’ School today and caused quite a stir. However, it also attacked a few students when they came near it. The incident occurred at 10.30 this morning. After watching its antics for some time the locals caught it by using a net. Later the simian was handed over to Park Street Police and is now being kept in a separate cell.

Who knew there was a Jewish girls’ school in Calcutta?
