The incident took place inside a privately-owned ATM machine situated in Aniyapuram which is in the Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu. Identified as M Upendra Roy, the 28-year-old man was under the influence of alcohol when he tried to get to the ATM machine through the wall behind it. He was halfway through when he found himself stuck in an odd place. All the ruckus caused during this was heard by the nearby residents who then went on to inform the police of the incident. When the police reached the scene, they found him in an awkward position as he was unable to come out of the 'sticky' spot. After he was rescued, he was taken under custody.
