Electrician Fined For Not Wearing Helmet Takes Revenge, Cuts UP Police Station¡¯s Power Supply

An electrician from UP¡¯s Firozabad set a record for the most brutal tit-for-tat move. It all started when the electrician named Srinivas was fined Rs 500 for not wearing a helmet and riding a bike.

Srinivas was stopped by sub inspector Ramesh Chandra while he was on his duty rounds to Badi Chapeti to repair a fault.

He pleaded the cop to excuse him one last time and even asked him to speak to his junior engineer to no avail.

¡°I also made him to speak to my junior engineer on phone who also requested him to pardon me, but he did not listen,¡± the TOI quoted Srinivas as saying

The cop fined him anyway and TBH was only going by rules, but the electrician had something else cooking in his head.

Angered by the unwarranted fine, the lineman decided to dig up all the pending electricity bills of the district¡¯s police station an cut off their power supply.

Now that¡¯s savage!

¡°The cop, along with his associates, started explaining me the rules for violating traffic norms and in return, I explained them the rules and penalty for not paying power bill on time,¡± Times of India quoted him as saying.

After paying the challan online Srinivas asked colleagues to check the power dues pending against the Line Par police station.

He found that the police station had racked up accumulated bills of Rs 6,62,463 since January 2016!

¡°On Wednesday, we conducted a re-verification of pending amount of Line Par police station, and found that police department owes Rs 7 lakh. They haven¡¯t paid a single paisa since 2016,¡± he said.

For Srinivas who earns a meagre Rs 6,000, paying a Rs 500 fine drew a hole through his pocket and his blood boiled when he found the police officials brazenly avoided paying electricity bills.

The lineman decided to avenge the fine by snapping their electricity for nearly four hours.

The police however had their own argument, Station House Officer, Sanjay Singh, slammed the electrician's move to seek revenge and said it was uncalled for.

TOI quoted him as saying, ¡°Since 4.30pm, there was no power supply in the police station for nearly four hours. We contacted senior officials of DVVNL against the electrician's act.¡±

"Our district superintendent did not spare even 70 policemen who were found flouting the traffic norms, how could we have pardoned the electrician.¡±

The police official said that the due amount of bill would be paid soon to DVVNL.
