Nexus 5 : Android 6 MOB30B: Unlock Bootloader without power button



Hi,
I have a Nexus 5, running stock Marshmallow MOB30B. Recently the power button stopped working,
The oem was initially unlocked, hence I tried re-flashing the phone to check if its a software issue, but not.
I locked the oem back once I re-flashed.
But now I'm not able to unlock the oem, as it requires a working Power Button to be pressed to confirm.
when i fire the below command from bootloader,

"fastboot oem unlock"

It asks a question in the device to confirm the action, there i am required to press the Power button to confirm (which I cannot do since the Power button is broken).

I tried almost all possible apps to root the device without unlocking oem, none of them works.
Towelroot is not supporting my device (even I cant do a temporary root and unlock oem through apps).
any other way to root the device requires unlocked bootloader.
I'm looking for something to do with adb shell or something to unlock the oem.

Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Harish G
