Denied money for cricket ball, youth climbs tower in Madhya Pradesh

Upset after his family refused money to buy a cricket ball, a youth in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district climbed an electric tower. Another youth then scaled the tower to persuade him to climb down. Police officials struggled for around six hours to bring the duo down. While one managed to climb down, officials had a hard time convincing the other. Finally, hours later, the youth himself climbed down. In the process, he received injuries and was rushed to the local community health centre (CHC). Officials said the youth were fortunate as electric lines were not yet attached to the tower.
