Watch: Baby monkey faints from heatstroke, UP cop performs CPR to save its life

MSN reported SHO Bhoopendra Singh as saying, “Due to excessive heat, a monkey fell from a tree and fainted. Several monkeys had gathered around and it was very hard to rescue the baby.”

The situation was tense. The presence of a lot of people distressed the monkeys and this, in turn, complicated the rescue operation.

Tomar recounted the incident saying, “We are trained to handle emergencies. Since the bodies of humans and monkeys are very similar, I tried to revive the monkey while my colleagues protected me from an agitated troupe. I pumped the chest for almost 45 minutes with intermittent rubbing and pouring little amounts of water into the mouth and finally it revived.”

Tomar’s dedication and skill were crucial in saving the young animal’s life. He added, “The monkey comes to the police station daily and I’m happy to see him playing.”
