Dharmender Kumar has been dubbed "monkey lover" by locals as he visits Muzaffarnagar every week to feed the animals.

The footage shows Kumar feeding the monkeys chickpeas and he is soon lost in a sea of them as they wait to be fed.

Kumar says that my objective is to spread awareness about animals and that he was never harmed by monkeys in fact they are very amicable.

This footage was filmed on January 26.
