Man Scales Bahraich Clock Tower, Injures Two in Dramatic Standoff

A man in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh climbed the city’s Clock Tower, triggering panic and injuring two youths who attempted to rescue him. Firefighters and heavy machinery were deployed as authorities struggled for hours to bring him down safely. Read the full account of the dramatic standoff.

 

A sudden moment of chaos unfolded in Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich district when a man identified as Dheeraj climbed atop the city’s prominent Ghantaghar (Clock Tower) on Tuesday, triggering alarm among bystanders and authorities. The unexpected ascent quickly drew crowds and forced police and emergency teams into an urgent rescue operation.

According to officials, two young men attempted to reach Dheeraj in an effort to bring him down safely. Instead, the situation escalated when he reportedly pushed them off the structure, causing both to fall and suffer fractures in their hands. Their injuries required immediate medical attention, further intensifying the tension around the busy intersection.

Police soon summoned firefighters and heavy machinery, including a bulldozer, to assist in the rescue as the man refused to descend. The standoff continued for an extended period, with responders carefully coordinating to prevent additional injuries and to restrain the distressed individual without causing harm. After persistent efforts, authorities finally managed to bring Dheeraj under control.

The incident disrupted movement at one of Bahraich’s central locations and raised concerns over public safety and mental health awareness in crowded urban zones. Officials are expected to review the episode to determine necessary preventive measures and assess the broader implications for emergency response protocols in the district.
