Bareilly (UP), May 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a bizarre incident, a man climbed up a unipole advertising hoarding and threatened to commit suicide if he was not provided liquor.
The high drama began late on Thursday evening and ended after an hour when police promised him a bottle of liquor.
Confirming the incident, Kotwali SHO Geetesh Kapil said: "We managed to get him down without any injury. We had only promised but did not give him liquor. The sale of liquor is banned in the state and we are strictly following the lockdown guidelines. We are trying to establish his identity so that his family can be informed."
The policemen offered food and soft drink to the man and even counselled him before releasing him. The police officials said that the man seemed mentally unstable.
