“There were no first aid medicines, I was just told to go to RML hospital”: Lawyer Attacked by Monkeys Within SC Premises, Finds No Medicines in Court Clinic

Lawyer S Selvakumari bitten by monkeys at the Supreme Court, and the court’s first aid clinic was under renovation, lacking essential medicines. She had to seek medical attention at the Delhi High Court dispensary and Ram Manohar Lohia hospital. This is not the first incident, as the Supreme Court had previously issued a tender to hire personnel to ward off monkeys trespassing into judges’ bungalows. In 2023, a PIL was filed seeking a committee to address the ‘monkey menace’ in the national capital.
