Changanassery: A youth who climbed atop a BSNL tower threatened to kill himself by jumping down if a case registered against him at the Thiruvalla police station was not resolved.
The youth has been identified as Binish, a resident of Manthaanam in Pathanamthitta
district.
Binish announced his suicide intention while standing on the narrow spiral ladder that winds its way to the top of the tower.
Reportedly, Binish is upset with the case and not in financial distress. He claimed that no action was taken even after he filed complaints to the DGP and the Police Complaints Authority.
Binish himself called the fire force personnel to the scene after climbing the tower.
Hundreds of onlookers thronged the site as Binish continued to stay put atop the tower even after two hours.
