An electric lineman in Agra cuts the electricity of a police station when Rs 500 challan was imposed on him. 

The lineman Srinivas asked the cop to talk to his boss, who is a subordinate engineer and requested the on-duty sub-inspector to let him go without a fine. But, the cop remained firm and issued a challan immediately to Srinivas. Moreover, the electrician says that the police officials started telling him the consequences of not abiding by the law and in return, Srinivas started telling them the consequences for not paying a left-over of Rs 6.62 lakh of pending electricity bills. After that, the electric lineman went to the Firozabad police station to cut the power supply and the station remained without electricity for four hours. Srinivas said that the police station did not pay their past electricity bills and that is why he disconnected the power supply of the Police station. The sub-divisional official, Ranveer Singh said several notices were sent to the police station regarding the pending electricity bills.

The lineman Srinivas asked the cops to talk to his boss, who is a subordinate engineer and asked the on-duty sub-inspector to let him go.

After doing a re-verification regarding the unsettled bills by the police station, the amount was close to Rs 7 lakh. The Agra police station hasn't paid their dues since 2016. After the electric lineman cuts the electricity, cops from the department got quite angry at him. A new bill was generated on Tuesday night to settle the dispute. The cops said that they are quite strict towards the rule-breakers and take some serious steps if someone tries to break any.
