Family dispute triggers tower climb as JPSSC exam sit‑in continues

The ongoing sit‑in by students demanding a clean JPSSC recruitment process was briefly interrupted when Heeralal, a 30‑year‑old from Latehar’s Balumath village, decided to climb the high‑mast tower inside the stadium complex. He reportedly shouted demands for his wife, Poonam, to return after she left him due to her inability to find work. The protestors, police and on‑lookers watched anxiously as the man perched atop the tower. Police called his family to the site, and after multiple attempts at persuasion, the youth finally agreed to be lowered safely on Sunday morning. Witnesses also mentioned signs of alcohol consumption, adding another layer of concern to the already tense atmosphere.
