Police have filed a complaint against two persons for allegedly impersonating Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) officials and replacing electricity meters. The incident was reported in Market Yard in Manchar town of Ambegaon taluka and a case was registered on November 24.
This is second such case recorded this year. A similar case was reported in Chakan in September.
The incident came to light when MSEDCL provided an electricity connection in the name of Ambika Chavan in the area. An irregularity emerged during the routine monitoring of meter readings, revealing a mismatch between the customer number and the meter number in MSEDCL’’s computerised system.
