Imran Quadri, a local resident, told UP Tak Naushad sells bangles in the Amaria market. He added that the lack of electricity in the town and the action taken by the electricity department to not restart the lines prevented a major accident.
After Naushad got down safely, his family was contacted by the local residents. While Naushad refused to explain why he performed the dangerous stunt, his family members claim that he often indulges in odd activities as he has not felt mentally fit for a few days.
