A 34-year-old man has been booked for mischief after he climbed up an electricity tower here with overhead transmission lines, to demand the release of a controversial YouTuber arrested by the Bihar police, officials said on Friday.
The drama unfolded at the tower near the Jaypee flyover in Sector 128 on Thursday evening, prompting immediate deployment of police and fire brigade personnel who used a hydraulic crane to bring down the person safely after almost three hours, they said.
However, the police on Friday booked the person, identified as Karan Thakur, a resident of Siwan in Bihar, on charges of public mischief, attempt to provoke breach of peace and assault on government officials to deter them from carrying out their duties.
