A doctor in Telangana pulled off a Veeru (from Sholay) like stunt and climb on a tower threatening suicide.

But there's a twist in the tale, the doctor did not threaten suicide to profess love but because he wanted a divorce.

Dr. B Ajay Kumar Rao, who is a doctor at a private hospital in Arpalli village, said his wife Lasya was harassing him with police cases and thus he wanted a divorce. Since Rao failed to convince her, he climbed a local tower and refused to come down.

He dropped a letter from the 40-feet tall tower which said that he wants a divorce.

Describing his ordeal Dr. Ajay wrote in the letter, "My wife threw me out of my house after lodging a case the second time two days ago and the police is also pressurising me. I want custody of my daughter and divorce from wife."

After much coaxing the police finally succeeded in bringing him down. The couple was then sent for counselling.

Jagityal town police inspector Prakash said that Ajay and Lasya married seven years ago and have a daughter. Recently a case of dowry, harassment and domestic violence was filed against him.
