Rescue operations stretched overnight
Upon receiving information about the incident, local police and fire brigade officials rushed to the scene. Despite several appeals, Ankit refused to come down and remained atop the transmission line for hours. Eyewitnesses say the commotion began during daylight and continued until 2 AM the next morning.
Authorities worked tirelessly to de-escalate the situation, eventually managing to convince Ankit to descend safely. Meanwhile, videos of the dramatic episode have gone viral on social media, further amplifying public interest in the case.
The exact reason behind Ankit’s dangerous stunt is still under investigation. However, his actions have sparked concern over the growing trend of emotionally driven, risky behavior being performed in public.
