Indian police have issued pictures of the Monkey Man killer, amid reports
he has claimed his second victim.
A pregnant woman died after falling down stairs at her East Delhi home as
her family fled from the creature.
Officers in Ghaziabad are offering to pay #75 to anyone who can capture
Monkey Man on film. Around 1,000 officers are involved in the search.
Vigilantes are taking to the streets frustrated at the police's failure to
catch him.
In Noida, a mechanic wearing a black outfit and fitting a description of
the Monkey Man was beaten up. A second man was attacked for apparently
performing "mystical formulations".
Some witnesses say the failure to capture the Monkey Man is explained by
his ability to make himself invisible.
Deepali Kumari, from Noida, said: "It has three buttons on its chest. One
makes it turn into a monkey, the second gives it extra strength, the third
makes it invisible.
"He touches a lock and it breaks. But he is afraid of the light."
