The incident took place near a stamp vendor's office on Kacheri Road, where the lawyer had reportedly arrived carrying the cash to complete property registration formalities. According to eyewitnesses, a monkey suddenly grabbed the bag and climbed a nearby tree before anyone could react.

Once perched on the tree, the monkey opened the bag and began tossing Rs 500 notes into the air, creating a scene that left onlookers stunned. Videos circulating online show currency notes fluttering to the ground while people rush to collect them.
The unexpected "money shower" drew a crowd, and chaos briefly ensued as people gathered beneath the tree. Witnesses said the lawyer and his associates watched helplessly as the monkey continued to pull out and throw notes from the bag.
