UP man completes 9-km ‘divorce workout’1 8 TTO GraphicsADVERTISEMENTIn Basti district, Uttar Pradesh, a man named Jogesh decided that a regular “we’re divorced” discussion just wouldn’t do. But arguments over his low income and irregular work hours led to mental stress, and apparently, divine intervention was required. Sub-divisional magistrate Himanshu Kumar gave him permission to make a public spectacle of his breakup, with police security in place. Passengers, expecting a routine landing, were left shaken but later thanked the crew for handling the situation. The man was handed over to airline security and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) after landing, and a case was registered.
