There were 25 criminal cases filed in Hyderabad police stations in the span of five days against people possessing illegal water connections.
The highest number of criminal cases have been filed against people booked within five days for the first time in HMWS&SB’s history. Two out-sourcing employees of HMWS&SB, who colluded with property owners to fix illegal water connections, have also been permanently removed from their official duties.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Vigilance Wing of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) revealed that a total of 25 persons were found to have committed a criminal offense by installing illegal water connections during the past five days.
Vigilance inspectors have warned anyone involved in manipulating the water meters and issuing water bills against the proper readings of the water meters, causing revenue loss to the HMWS&SB, will face criminal charges and FIRs.
