Last year in November, a woman in Uttar Pradesh climbed a mobile tower demanding that her boyfriend marry her. The woman alleged that her boyfriend cheated on her and is refusing to commit to his promise to marry her. The incident took place near Semra Raja Toll Plaza in the Bhitauli police station area in UP’s Maharajganj district.
