The monkey, of the Rhesus Macaque species, was rescued and put under medical observation. The Rashtrapati Bhawan staff spotted the frightened monkey and called the Wildlife SOS. "The animal is likely a victim of human-animal conflict and it took shelter in a place where it found safety," said Kartick Satyanarayan, Wildlife SOS co-founder.
