    Faisalabad man climbs Ghanta Ghar to protest against family pressure to get married

    A young man in Faisalabad climbed up the Ghanta Ghar to protest against his family for pressuring him to get married, SAMAA has reported.

    The man climbed the tower after knocking out the guard. He then hurled bricks from his vantage point at the people down below. This alarmed locals who later called the police and rescue services.

    He was finally subdued and brought down from the tower after three and a half hours of effort by the authorities.
    The police are investigating the case.
