A huge crowd also gathered around the area. While some people were taking pictures and recording the drama, some were also trying to persuade him to come down. However, he initially refused to do so.
After nearly two hours, the man was finally brought down by the police and fire department officials. According to the police, he seems to be mentally disturbed. However, if he was drunk is yet to be ascertained.
"We told him that we will solve all his problems and hear from him...just asked him to come down. He has been sent to a hospital. We will conduct further investigation," a police official said.
Earlier, in an unrelated incident, an unidentified man climbed a high-voltage electric pole in the Yamuna Khadar area under Geeta Colony police station limits in Delhi.
After reaching the spot, the police and personnel from the Delhi Fire Service safely brought him down. The man demanded to speak to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, and Chief Justice DY Chandrachud regarding the issue of environmental conservation.
Police stated that the man mentioned being from either Bengal or Bihar and claimed to work as a teacher. The investigation into the matter is underway.
