The 40 year-old man, identified as Murugesh, had climbed up the pole and made wild demands.
High-voltage suicide excitement ends safe and sound
- A suicide attempt by a 40-year-old Indian was thwarted by Dubai Police on Friday afternoon after over 15 hours of dialogue. Murugeshan, a helper from the southern Indian city Chennai, was rescued at 12.45pm. He was detained by the Dubai Police for interrogation.
- The high voltage drama began on Thursday evening around 9.30pm when Murugeshan climbed atop a 30-metre, 32 KV cable tower after drinking alcohol.
- Electricity through the cable was cut off and officials from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) rushed to the spot along with Civil Defence personnel, police and para-medics.
“It was nerve-racking. The weather was chilly. The man had perched himself on top of the cable tower. We tried to persuade him to get down and not to try something foolish. He was just not in a mood to listen. Senior officials from Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence and a team of paramedics kept vigil under the tower,” said Captain ,Air and Fire rescue, Dubai Civil Defence.
“Murugeshan wanted to speak to his relative. He was making wild demands and changing his mind in minutes,” said Al Rahoomi.
- Murugeshan has been working in the UAE for three months and consumed alcohol. He is married with four children. Murugeshan had first demanded a piece of land on which he wanted to built a factory.
- After smoking two cigarettes, speaking to a relative on the mobile and sipping some water, Murugeshan finally agreed to be rescued at 12.45pm.
- He was brought down handcuffed and was immediately whisked off to the Bur Dubai police station.
- Consuming liquor in this part of Arab country is itself outlawed, and Murugesh has wrecked the law by ingestion of liquor and used public possessions with no good reason for his imprudent demands, he is probably likely to get a good reprimand for the action, as this is UAE where each person is accountable for their action and conduct, dissimilar to India where citizens are left scot-free for all deeds of these stuff.

It’s against our culture to attack woman says Taliban.
“We are sad over Benazir Bhutto’s death. We do not have any enmity with Pakistani leaders and are only opposed to the US,” Omar said and described the government’s claims about Mehsud’s involvement in the suicide attack as ‘propaganda’.
Well isn’t this amazing news now we know Taliban has Culture the world seems so much more safer now! *insert bucket loads of sarcasm here*
Taliban’s claim is a tissue of lies. They had assembled crowds in erstwhile football fields and executed number of ‘loose’ females publicly. Photos of such were openly available for viewing on the ‘ORGISH’ forums. One such series of photos depicted the last moments of a woman condemned to death. It showed the woman sobbing and shivering with terror as her captives lowered her into a freshly dug pit upto her chest letting her upper body remain exposed for her to be stoned to death in that macabre position.

It’s now confirmed that she didn’t survive. This is a very sad day for Pakistan.
think what you will of her politics, Bhutto was brave to return to Pakistan and to openly oppose the government. her days were numbered from the first moment she arrived.
The sad days are ahead for Pakistan her death has opened up many issues..
1. Will the elections happen peacefully ?
2. Chances of Mushsaraf survival with life and position ?
3. Security of Necular weapons in Pakistan ?
4. Is this the start of Islamic fundamentalist’s rise in Pakistan ?
and few other points
