The incident took place on September 30 in Katav Ghat area in broad daylight when the man carrying the cash was travelling in an autorickshaw along with two others, reported Hindustan Times.
As the trio was caught up in the traffic jam, the monkey snatched away the wad of cash wrapped in a towel from one of the men and climbed up a tree. After taking the money, the monkey started shaking the towel around which ended up with the currency notes raining down all around.

The owner of the money was able to get back Rs 56,000 but the rest of the money could not be retrieved.
There were no CCTV cameras in the area to identify who stole the rest of the money that was scattered everywhere, the police said. As a result, no case was registered in connection with the incident as only monkeys were involved in the act.

Police said that locals in the area often provide food to the monkeys and hence the animals sometimes try to enter the vehicles hoping to find some food. The complainant has been directed to go to another police station and seek help there.
