As word spread, a significant crowd of villagers converged around the scene, creating a tense atmosphere.
Police officers engaged in a long negotiation with the couple, investing hours in convincing them to descend from their tower. The reason behind the tower climb was a heated argument between the couple, further amplified over a phone call preceding the incident.
The boyfriend's decision to follow his furious partner in an attempt to persuade her to return to safety added a layer of complexity to the situation.
Remarkably, both the young woman and her companion were eventually coaxed down from their tower unharmed.
No formal case was registered by the authorities, however, officials delivered a stern warning to the young couple, admonishing them against engaging in such reckless behaviour in the future.
