|January 15, 2026
A DAY AFTER a Danish player complained of bird-poop littering around the venue, a monkey sighting was reported at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex hosting the India Open badminton Super 750 tournament.
In three separate Instagram stories posted by photographer Azlynna Dev, a monkey was seen in the stands not far from the courts being used by some of the world’s top shuttlers.
The uninvited simian entry was confirmed by a security official guarding the gate. “Yes, a monkey entered the spectators’ arena and sat in the gold stand. It was there for 10 minutes and once we received a complaint, we removed it promptly,’ an official said. “The monkey didn’t harm anyone. It is a little dark so nobody could spot it. When it was spotted, we quickly removed it.’
Korean men’s doubles player Kang Min Hyuk posted a video of another monkey at the KD Jadhav Indoor hall, the designated training venue. The Korean shuttler wrote a caption: “Are animals (given) free admission?”
