Maharashtra: Drunk man climbs atop 300-foot BSNL tower, keeps police on toes during 4.30-hour drama

A drunk man, identified as Sanjay Jadhav, climbed atop a 300-foot-high tower of the BSNL on Monday evening in Maharashtra's Buldhana district. The police succeeded in getting him down after four and a half hours.

Maharashtra police had a tough time in the Buldhana district where a drunk man staged a scene that is occasionally seen in Bollywood films following iconic comic performance by actor Dharmendra in the blockbuster Sholay, released in the 1970s. In real life, such an act becomes life threatening. In this case, the man identified as Sanjay Jadhav climbed atop a 300-foot-high tower of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Monday evening. He refused to climb down despite repeated requests by the onlookers.
