Anxious moments prevailed in Podanur area in the city, when a 40-year-old AIADMK worker climbed atop a cell phone tower, threatening to jump down seeking release of party supermo, Jayalalithaa from the jail.
Much to the surprise of the passersby, Paraman suddenly climbed up the tower in a commercial complex waving the party flag and shouting slogans, police said.
He started shouting that Jayalalithaa should be released, failing which, he threatened to jump down and commit suicide.
