Meter tampering and energy theft by neighbours


11-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)

Hello, We have moved into a rented apartment 7 months back. Since the day we got our first bill we had an idea that there is something wrong with the meter and the bill we are getting is too much. We had filed a complaint with BESCOM couple of times regarding the issue but in vain. However, last week BESCOM sent a technician and we found out that our neighbors electrical wires are also billed in our meter. He's getting the minimal bill of Rs.95-100 and we are paying an average of Rs.1100 pm. Can you please help?

File Police complaint and share the same with BESCOM. Let you neighbor face the legal consequences or settle with you.

Alternatively, ask the Bescom technician to give the details of the finding in writing.
