A young woman scaled a high‑voltage tower in Parua village, East Champaran, to press for marriage with her boyfriend Vivek, prompting a prolonged police intervention.
On Tuesday morning, a young woman from Parua village in the Raksaul area of East Champaran climbed a high‑voltage electricity tower to demand that her boyfriend, Vivek, marry her. The stunt attracted a crowd and caused a temporary disruption of power supply in the vicinity.
Police arrived promptly and attempted to persuade her to descend, but she remained on the tower for several hours, insisting on her demand. After a prolonged dialogue, officers succeeded in coaxing her down without any injury.
Local authorities have lodged a formal complaint and are investigating the incident as a public nuisance. The episode highlights the growing trend of extreme protests over personal matters in rural Bihar.
The incident was reported by regional newspaper Amar Ujala, which noted that the woman’s actions were driven by a romantic dispute rather than any political or criminal motive.
No arrests have been made yet, and the police have warned that similar disruptions could attract legal action under the state's public order statutes.
