Man Climbs 100-Foot Tower, Threatens Suicide After Family Dispute in Jharkhand

In a scene reminiscent of the iconic Bollywood dialogue, a young man in Jharkhand’s Gumla district created a tense situation by climbing a mobile tower and threatening to jump. The incident occurred after a dispute with his brother and father over property. The man, identified as Ritesh Kumar Singh, ascended the 100-foot tower and began his dramatic protest, leading to a three-hour standoff with the local police. Upon descending, he sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. The dispute reportedly stemmed from a disagreement about property division, which escalated when the man’s wife attempted to intervene. The ensuing altercation led to the man’s climb and threat, causing alarm in the village. The police, after a lengthy negotiation, managed to bring him down.
