Mobile cameras were on.

Local WhatsApp groups were flooded with pictures and videos.

Since the tower happened to be close to a toll plaza, the traffic on the highway was also disrupted briefly.Police had a tough time bringing down the irate woman.

When all attempts at cajoling failed, cops scaled the tower and brought her down safely.

"The woman climbed the mobile tower near Semra Raja toll plaza area in Maharajganj district on Thursday.

She could only be pacified after an FIR was lodged against the man for "voluntarily causing hurt," the CO added.
