After two locals tried to bring him down, he pushed them off. They sustained injuries and were hospitalised. While atop the tank, the man asked for chicken, liquor and money. Even though he was offered these, he didn’t come down. Two local residents were asked to bring him down, but he pushed them down. After this, the police brought him down.
