Woman climbs water tank in UP after fiance calls off wedding
A 23-year-old woman was rescued from a water tank in Kaushambi after her fiance reportedly refused to proceed with their marriage.
A 23-year-old woman, identified as Anupama, climbed a water tank in Makhaipur village in Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi after her fiance reportedly called off their wedding, according to Times Now.
Anupama was engaged to Awadhesh Kumar, a resident of Sarai Akil town. A dispute reportedly arose after a call recording was sent to Kumar, leading to an argument and his refusal to marry.
Upset by the decision, Anupama travelled nearly four kilometres from her home to the village before climbing the tank. The incident attracted a crowd of local residents.
Police personnel arrived at the scene and attempted to persuade her to come down for several hours. Villagers also made repeated requests, but she refused to descend.
Authorities eventually managed to rescue her safely. A police official confirmed that she was questioned at the police station before being handed over to her family.
The official stated that necessary action is being taken regarding the matter.
