Palakonda: Drug and alcohol abuse can lead to bizarre and dangerous behaviours, often leaving onlookers stunned or terrified over their crazy and reckless acts. A shocking incident in Parvathipuram Manyam district illustrates this grim reality, as a man climbed and kept lying on electric wires running parallel to the roof of his house. The man allegedly resorted to this after a heavy bout of drinking.
The individual, identified as Ejjala Venkanna, a labourer from M. Singapuram village in Palakonda Mandal, Andhra Pradesh, reportedly climbed onto the electric wires at the main centre of the village. The bizarre act followed a heated argument with his family members. Before his perilous climb, Venkanna had reportedly disabled the electricity supply at the transformer, preventing the immediate danger of electrocution.
