New Delhi: In a bizarre incident from India, a young man cut off electricity to an entire village after repeatedly failing to reach his girlfriend on the phone.
According to Indian media reports, the man became frustrated when his girlfriend’s number remained busy for an extended period. Unable to control his anger, he took the drastic step of climbing an electric pole and disconnecting the power supply to the entire village.
A video of the unusual act has since gone viral on social media, showing the man angrily cutting off the power while bystanders looked on in shock. The clip captures both his visible frustration and the reckless manner in which he disrupted the electricity supply.
While the identity of the man and his girlfriend has not been disclosed, the incident has sparked widespread online reactions. Social media users have flooded comment sections with a mix of humor, criticism, and disbelief. Many joked about the “power of love” taking on a literal meaning, while others condemned the dangerous behavior, pointing out the risks of electrocution and the inconvenience caused to villagers.
Reports suggest that the power outage lasted for a short while before authorities restored electricity to the affected area. However, the viral video has made the man an internet sensation, albeit for the wrong reasons.
Incidents like this highlight the increasing trend of personal disputes turning into public spectacles, often amplified by social media. While many netizens have treated the story as comic relief, others argue it underscores deeper concerns about anger management and reckless actions in the digital age.
