High-voltage drama after man climbs electric tower demanding YouTuber's release

A man climbed atop a high-voltage electric tower demanding the release of YouTuber Manish Kashyap, who was arrested for spreading fake videos on Bihar migrant labours being attacked in Tamil Nadu.

The Bihar man climbed an electricity tower near the Jaypee flyover in Sector 128, creating panic for over three hours on Thursday evening.

The police officials, who rushed to the spot, requested him to come down but in man. The man was in denial and demanded the release and the removal of the NSA against YouTuber Manish Kashyap.

The high-voltage drama went on for nearly three hours and the police had to cut the supply of electricity as the power supply through these lines are of high voltage.

In the end, the Police engaged a hydraulic platform to reach the man and bring him down.

In April, Manish Kashyap, who is accused of fake videos of Bihari migrant labourers being attacked in Tamil Nadu, was detained under the stringent National Security Act (NSA).

The Bihar YouTuber has moved the Supreme Court for temporary relief from arrest.

He has also submitted a request to club all of the FIRs filed against him in various jurisdictions.

The attacks on migrants in Tamil Nadu snowballed into a political slugfest between the ruling DMK and the BJP and on the same issue, the Saffron party attacked the Nitish Kumar-led regime in Bihar.
