The unusual act not only plunged the village into darkness but also raised questions about safety and the misuse of public utilities. Authorities have not yet disclosed the man’s identity or that of his girlfriend.
Police and power officials are still investigating whether any damage was caused to the infrastructure and whether charges will be filed. So far, no confirmation of legal action has been made.
Residents of the affected village expressed surprise and frustration, saying that personal issues should never impact public facilities like the electricity supply. Some criticized the man’s reckless behavior, while others viewed the act as an example of how emotions can lead to extreme actions.
The viral video has since crossed regional boundaries, being shared across Indian and international platforms. It continues to generate online discussions about love, anger, and responsibility in the digital age.
