A 26-year-old man believed to be mentally-challenged climbed an electricity pole in a crowded area in Noida on Monday morning and refused to get off for at least half-an-hour, leading to chaos just as office rush was building up. The incident occurred around 8.30 am at Shivalik Marg, near the Noida City Centre.
According to a senior police official, the man, identified as Aniruddh from Bihar’s Betiah district, came down with the help of a crane from the Electricity Department.
“After receiving a call regarding the man, a police team from Sector 24 station reached the spot along with officials from the Fire department to bring him down,” said the senior police official.
