Three rogue monkeys which attacked more than 20 people in Kolambakkam in Chengalpet were captured and rehabilitated by wildlife (headquarters) officials on Thursday.
According to range officer Edison, after Kancheepuram forest officials said they did not have trained monkey catchers villagers approached Vandalur zoo authorities who in turn gave them the contact number of headquarters range office at Velacherry.
A team of experts of monkey catchers took four hours to trap the monkeys and later released them in a reserved forest, Edison said. Sources said when the monkeys were young they were captured by Narikoravas who tried to train them. However, when they failed, they (Narikoravas) released them near the village.
