Man Plunges Village Into Darkness After Girlfriend Won't Answer His Calls

A village in Bihar, India was plunged into darkness after a young man, reportedly enraged that his girlfriend wasn't answering his phone calls, took matters into his own hands—literally. In a viral video, the man is seen standing on a high-voltage electric pole with a pair of large pliers. He then proceeds to cut the wires, immediately disconnecting the power supply to the entire village.

According to online reports, the man was upset after his partner's phone was busy for an extended period, and he was unable to get through to her. In a dramatic attempt to get her attention, he climbed the electric pole and caused the blackout.

The man’s extreme actions have sparked a huge reaction on social media, with many users in disbelief over the lengths he went to. This bizarre incident highlights the lengths people will go for love—or frustration—even if it means causing a major inconvenience for an entire community.
