Hyderabad, July 19 (Hydnow): An electricity department employee was thrashed by a resident for allegedly asking him to pay pending dues at Sanathnagar on Thursday.
Two contract employees of the electricity department, a line inspector, and a meter reader went to Kabir Nagar, Motinagar to check meter readings when the incident occurred.
While checking meter readings at a house, the duo asked the residents to pay the pending electricity bills which had accumulated to over Rs. 6,000 over the past several months. When the residents allegedly refused to clear the pending dues, the electricity staff disconnected the power supply to the house.
Angered over the development, the suspect picked up an argument with the electricity department employee and later rained blows with his fists, resulting in injuries. The video of the incident went viral on social media, drawing criticism from citizens.
The Sanathnagar Police are investigating. (Hydnow)
