Fined by cops, UP lineman cuts power supply to police station

Irked after cops imposed a fine of Rs 500 on him for not wearing a helmet, a lineman of the electricity department disconnected power supply to the Line Par police station in Firozabad on Tuesday evening. The police station had power bill arrears of over Rs 6 lakh.

With no power at the police station for five hours, senior cops took up matter with electricity department officials.

“The in-charge of Line Par police station Sanjay Singh verified the arrears to settle the issue,” said Baldev Singh, ASP (Firozabad), Sadar.
