In Pipraich, Gorakhpur, a twisted incident of infidelity has come to limelight due to the couple involved creating a drama when the 34-year-old woman, mother of three children and wife of Ram Govind, climbed up on an electric pole following the expose of her extra-marital affair with a man in the neighbouring village.

What was the argument about?

The details of the argument were based on financial issues and issues of cheating, where the husband, a labourer, found out about his wife's 7-year-long love affair.

Financial issues?

The couple had been grappling with financial issues, unable to meet household expenses. When the wife suggested that the 'other man' could provide financial assistance, Ram Govind, the husband stormed out mid-argument.
The video captures the woman perched atop the electric pole, surrounded by concerned onlookers watching with shock and fear as the woman struggled over the pole. 

Local authorities swiftly intervened, cutting off the power supply to the pole to ensure the woman's safety and negotiating a bargain with the woman to convince her to come down, deescalating the situation and ultimately rescuing her and diverting a tragedy.
