Man lives in tree for nine months after wife's affair

An Indian man has been living in a tree for nine months after his wife had an affair and refused to apologise to him.

The 25-year-old man - who is known only as Sanjay – left his Mumbai home when his partner wouldn't say sorry for cheating on him, and she still hasn't apologised.

His sister told The Asian Age newspaper: "He eats and sleeps on the tree and even relieves himself from there."

Sanjay has reportedly been living off a diet of fruit from the tree and his relatives have been handing him food parcels.

A spokesman for Cholapur police confirmed: "The man is on a tree top for the last nine months over some domestic dispute."
