India Today Television | November 16, 2017

A doctor in Telangana pulled off a Veeru (from Sholay) like stunt and climbed on a tower threatening suicide. But there's a twist in the tale, the doctor did not threaten suicide to profess love but because he wanted a divorce.

Dr B Ajay Kumar Rao, who is a doctor at a private hospital in Arpalli village, said his wife Lasya was harassing him with police cases and thus he wanted a divorce. Since Rao failed to convince her, he climbed a local tower and refused to come down.

He dropped a letter from the 40-feet tall tower which said that he wants a divorce.

After much coaxing, the police finally succeeded in bringing him down. The couple was then sent to a family counselling session.
