Summary

High drama unfolded in Devanahalli when a man, Anand, accused in two Pocso cases, climbed a nine-storeyed apartment building on Tuesday. He threatened to end his life, demanding that the deputy commissioner be brought to the spot. Anand scaled the private apartment near the Devanahalli bypass around 3 PM, shouting for justice and refusing to come down unless the DC arrived.
Police and fire services rushed to the scene and began negotiations. Sources indicated Anand had previously spent four years in jail for a Pocso case, though the exact reason for his protest was unclear. Despite his mother's emotional appeals, he remained adamant about his demands. After nearly four hours of tense stand-off and negotiations, Anand was safely persuaded to descend around 7 PM. Devanahalli police have registered a case and initiated an investigation into the incident.
