Indian couple, estranged from family, leaving everything to pet monkey

An Indian couple who are estranged from their families say they’ve named Chunmun in their will as their only “child,” bequeathing to it their house in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state, other properties and all their money.

Brijesh Srivastava, an owner of businesses including a flour mill and a cable network company, and his wife Shabista, a lawyer, are estranged from their families, who disapproved of their interfaith marriage years ago. Brijesh Srivastava is a Hindu; Shabista is a Muslim. They have no children.

“People in India don’t care about animals, but I feel they are just like humans. They need love and affection,” Shabista said.
