Smart Monkey Returns Stolen iPhone After Getting Frooti (Mathura Video Goes Viral)

Mathura: In a hilarious incident that proves the intelligence of our primate ancestors, a monkey in Vrindavan, Mathura, was caught on camera striking a "business deal" with a group of tourists. The video has since taken over social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

The incident reportedly took place near the Banke Bihari temple, an area known for its notorious monkey population. In the clip, a monkey is seen sitting on a high ledge, clutching a brand-new iPhone 16 that it had snatched from an unsuspecting devotee's hand.

The "Barter System"

While most people would panic, the locals knew exactly what to do. Instead of scaring the monkey, they initiated a barter system. A man is seen tossing a pack of Frooti (Mango Drink) towards the monkey.

The clever animal catches the drink with one hand while holding the expensive phone in the other. After ensuring the drink was secured, the monkey gently dropped the phone back to the owners, much to the crowd's amusement.

Netizens React with Laughter

The video has garnered over 2 million views in just 24 hours. Comments flooded in praising the monkey's negotiation skills.

• "This monkey knows the economy better than us!" joked one user.
• "iPhone 16 for a ₹10 Frooti? Worst trade deal in history for the monkey," laughed another.
• "Even monkeys in Mathura are foodies," commented a local.

This isn't the first time such an incident has occurred. Locals say the monkeys have learned that snatching expensive items like glasses, purses, and phones is the quickest way to get food from tourists.

So, the next time you visit Mathura, keep your phone safe—or at least carry an extra Frooti for leverage!
