Meanwhile, the people who actually owned the cash were busy taking care of land registration.
The father and son duo were with their lawyer inside the office when they discovered the chaos ensuing as a result of their money.
According to India TV, the pair were only able to recover 52,000 rupees (S$760). The remainder had been snatched by passersby when the monkey began rummaging through the sack from the tree.
The incident has also led to discussion online about preventing animal nuisance within government grounds.
