A woman in Uttar Pradesh climbed a mobile tower on Thursday, demanding that her boyfriend marry her. The woman, whose identity is not clear at the moment, alleged that her boyfriend cheated on her and is refusing to commit to his promise to marry her.

The incident took place near Semra Raja Toll Plaza in the Bhitauli police station area in UP’s Maharajganj district.

A huge crowd gathered at the scene as the woman as police and rescue workers swiftly brought the woman down from the tower. While her boyfriend is currently missing, police have taken his father into custody.

An investigation is underway in the case and the police are trying to track down the boyfriend.

In August 2023, a minor girl climbed an 80-feet tall tower of high-tension power line in the Gaurela Pendra Marwahi district of Chhattisgarh because she was angry with her boyfriend.

The situation worsened further after the boyfriend also decided to pursue her to the top of the tower.

According to an India Today report, some locals noticed the duo atop the tower and alerted the Pendra police station. The families of the boy and girl were also informed about the incident.

After hours of negotiation, the police officials managed to convince the couple to come down.
