Indian – (Special Correspondent/Web Desk0 – An Indian woman climbs 100-foot mobile phone tower in Uttar Pradesh to push her family to accept her marriage. The dramatic event took place in Bahraich district.

Mehak stayed on the tower for around four hours. Relatives, villagers and police begged her to come down.
She warned that she would jump if her wish was not met. This made the situation very tense for everyone watching.

Police then took her and her family to the station for counselling. Later, she went home with her mother.
A large crowd of villagers had gathered to watch. The event showed how hard it can be when love meets family opposition.
