Punjab man climbs 70-ft pole to demand brother’s release from jail
In an incident on Sunday along the Kotkapura-bypass road in Moga, Punjab, police released a theft suspect who had been held for five days in what was deemed 'illegal' custody after his elder brother climbed a 70-foot electric pole and vowed not to descend until his sibling was freed. The family accused officers of colluding with the complainants to extort money.
