According to the latest reports, a sub-engineer of the Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited, employed at the Karwan sub-station, was reportedly trashed on Tuesday for cutting the electricity over non-payment of the bill.
Vijay Kumar, one of the officials, along with other people went to various colonies in Tappachabutra and disconnected the power supply to households that were yet to pay pending electricity bills.
One person, Vishal, along with his mother, started an argument with Vijay Kumar when he returned to the office, inquiring why he disconnected the power to their home.
The official was then hit on the chest and abused by Vishal during the argument. Tappachabutra Inspector G Santosh Kumar said the suspect was taken into custody after a complaint was filed.
Since the accused hadn’t paid his electricity bills for the last two years, his electricity was disconnected. Vishal’s bills, totalling Rs 15,000, remain unpaid.
Authorities are attempting to identify the other individuals involved.

Lack of power supply in historic library
Aspirants for government jobs who are preparing for exams face difficulty because libraries do not provide basic facilities. Grandhalaya Samstha, which has no electricity, is the only library for aspirants in the Old City. Visitors have complained that there has been no electricity for the last four days.
In their opinion, the library lacks basic facilities; it is a 69-year-old historic structure without proper maintenance. Nevertheless, they study there and prepare for exams.
Officials from the library lack information on the causes of the power outage and are contacting Transco officials daily. However, they have not visited the library to restore power.
Shalibanda Library is one of the oldest libraries in the city, run by Hyderabad City Grandhalaya Samstha. It was established in 1953.
Thousands of books are stored there. In addition to reference books on law, medicine, history, and dictionaries, they also publish periodicals, such as Employment News, children’s books, magazines and dailies in 17 languages, including Urdu, English, Hindi, Telugu, and Marathi.
