A rare incident takes place in the liquor shop in Ranchi’s Ormanjhi Chowk in the wake of the monkey being seen entering the store to drink from a bottle of alcohol and then falling asleep inside the liquor shop, which has caught the attention of social media users when a monkey is seen drinking from the bottle in the store, eventually falling asleep in the store. The monkey’s video has gone viral online.
People who worked at the shop reported that the monkey entered the shop during the store's operation. Shop employees tried to get him to leave the area. They tried offering biscuits to distract him and persuade him to move away from the liquor bottles. But it didn't seem to work, and he kept going into the shop.
The monkey picked up a bottle of liquor, it said in a report. The monkey pulled the bottle open with his hands and teeth and began to drink from it, witnesses said. The unusual behaviour shocked shop workers and people at the site and had them pulling out their mobile phones to track it.
According to eyewitness accounts, the monkey consumed a lot of alcohol. After drinking, its behaviour began to change, they said. The animal seemed drowsy and eventually fell asleep on the shop counter, where it fell asleep, they said.
The entire incident was shown on video, and the monkey is seen drinking from the bottle and resting in the liquor shop. The video has circulated widely on social media, and viewers were surprised by the weird behaviour.
Some of the shop workers and some local residents also said they saw the monkey in the area in recent days. They said they had occasionally seen the monkey licking leftover alcohol from discarded bottles. But they had not seen the monkey entering the liquor shop and drinking directly from a bottle.
The monkey remained in the shop while it slept. The shop staff and people around it held up until the animal regained consciousness. The monkey was seen leaving the shop on its own after waking up, they said.

The incident has attracted much interest online because of the unexpected sequence of events. Videos of animals that behave differently are frequently shared on social media, and this footage has also been widely shared.
However, the incident also raises questions about the risks animals may face when they come into contact with discarded food, bottles or other substances in areas frequented by people. While the monkey appeared to recover and leave the premises, there was no immediate information about whether consuming the alcohol caused any lasting health effects.
The Ormanjhi Chowk incident remains an unusual incident, and much of the information comes from shop workers and witnesses who were present at the time. The viral footage shows the monkey inside the shop, but the amount of alcohol consumed and its impact on the animal could not be independently established from the information available.
For now, the video is still generating a lot of attention on social media and has turned an unexpected visit to a Ranchi liquor shop into one of the oddest animal stories on the internet.
