(MENAFN- Live Mint) Love stories often come with drama, but one man's extreme reaction in the name of love has left the internet both shocked and amused.

A viral video shows a man climbing an electric pole with a pair of giant pliers in his hand. Moments later, he is seen cutting wires, an act that allegedly plunged his partner's entire village into darkness. The reason? Reports claim he was furious because his partner's phone line was constantly busy.
