The incident would have gone unnoticed had residents not found the man’s arm sticking out from the freshly tarred road, according to The Times of India.

Villagers blocked traffic for the body to be exhumed and the man was pronounced dead.

Two road workers involved in the incident were arrested and booked for negligence leading to death, according to reports.

An investigating officer told The Times of India: “It was dark and there were no warning signs. He would have been walking in an inebriated condition when he fell into the pit between Udlana and Hata village and lost consciousness.”

The officer also said that “workers must not have noticed him while filling the pothole.”

SAN FRANCISCO: This 2011 photo provided by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals shows a selfie taken by a macaque monkey on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi with a camera that was positioned by British nature photographer David Slater. The photo is part of a court exhibit in a lawsuit filed by PETA here on Tuesday, which says that the monkey, and not Slater, should be declared the copyright owner of the photos.—AP
LOS ANGELES: US animal rights activists filed an unusual lawsuit on Tuesday on behalf of a macaque monkey who snapped selfie photographs, arguing it owned the photos rather than the nature photographer involved.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filed the suit in federal court in San Francisco on behalf of six-year-old Naruto, seeking to have the macaque “declared the author and owner of his photograph”. “Our argument is simple,” PETA said in a statement.

“US copyright law doesn’t prohibit an animal from owning a copyright, and since Naruto took the photo, he owns the copyright, as any human would”.

The photos were taken in 2011 on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi by British nature photographer David Slater.

He later published a book of his photographs that included two selfies taken by Naruto. The San Francisco-based company that published the book — Blurb — is named as a co-defendant in the suit.

“If this lawsuit succeeds, it will be the first time that a non-human animal is declared the owner of property, rather than being declared a piece of property himself or herself,” PETA said. “It will also be the first time that a right is extended to a non-human animal beyond just the mere basic necessities of food, shelter, water, and veterinary care.

“In our view, it is high time”. But Slater insists he owns the rights to the photos since he set up the tripod and walked away for a few minutes only to find out that the monkey had grabbed his camera and snapped away.

He told the Washington Post last year, when the copyright controversy erupted, that the widespread distribution of the photos on the Internet had cost him a lot of money.

“This is ruining my business,” he told the paper. “If it was a normal photograph and I had claimed I had taken it, I would potentially be a lot richer than I am”.
