A bid for online fame took a dangerous turn when a YouTuber, known as Nileshwar22, attempted a daring climb up a mobile tower in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. With his friend recording the stunt for a live audience, Nileshwar sought to boost his channel’s popularity, which already had 8.87 thousand subscribers.
The scene unfolded dramatically in Tigri village, drawing attention from local residents as Nileshwar ascended the tower while his companion captured the event from below. However, as the crowd gathered, Nileshwar’s friend, overwhelmed by the situation, hastily left the scene, leaving Nileshwar stranded atop the tower.
With onlookers growing and the situation escalating, police swiftly arrived but faced challenges convincing Nileshwar to descend safely. The rescue operation stretched over five tense hours, requiring careful coordination and effort to bring him down.
Authorities highlighted the risks of engaging in such perilous activities solely for online attention, underscoring the need for caution. An investigation has been launched to explore potential legal repercussions stemming from the incident.
