Summary:
NEW DELHI: Police and fire brigade struggled for nearly 8 hours to bring down a mentally unstable man from atop a crane at the site of an under-construction hotel. The crane was in mid-air, so there was no way he could be reached without the rescuers being noticed. Police said he also visited Rishikesh and Haridwar before coming to Delhi.On Thursday night, Paharganj police received a PCR call about Raju climbing atop the 25-foot crane from a passerby. The police then contacted his sister and asked her to come to Delhi. Many locals then engaged Raju in conversation through the night so that he didn’t jump..
