Watch: Fed up over poor network, villagers tie technician with mobile tower

In Hardauli village of Fatehpur district, a group of villagers grew increasingly frustrated with poor mobile connectivity that had plagued the area for two years. In a shocking incident, they took matters into their own hands, capturing a technician from a telecom company and tying him to a mobile tower for around two hours.

The technician, Adityabhan Singh, was alerted by a passerby and rescued by local police. An FIR was filed against unidentified villagers under section 127 (2) of the BNS at Bindiki police station. Basawanpur resident Singh alleged that he visited Hardauli village to investigate the lack of power supply, only to be confronted by a group of villagers who were angry over the mobile network issues.

In a heated argument, one villager suggested tying the technician to the tower to force action from the telecom company. The villagers held the technician captive and took advantage of the situation to lodge their complaints about poor connectivity, high recharge charges, and inadequate service. The villagers claimed that a private mobile company had been operating in the village for two years, but the network problem remained unresolved.

A video of the incident reportedly went viral on social media, drawing the attention of the police. To gather more information, they analyzed the footage and initiated an investigation. The police are currently probing the incident and the villagers' claims.
