Beed Forest Officer Sachi Kand told ANI that the "two monkeys involved in the killing of many puppies have been captured by a Nagpur Forest Department team".
The monkeys will be released in a nearby forest, officials said.
Locals said that the monkeys have been killing puppies for the last couple of months in Lavool village of Beed. As soon as they see a puppy, they would catch it and take it to a height. The dog would then be thrown from there.
The villagers contacted Dharur's Forest Department after the monkeys attacked some school-going children as well, creating panic, reported ANI.
