Hyderabad, July 19 (Hydnow): An electricity department employee was thrashed by a resident for allegedly asking him to pay pending dues at Sanathnagar on Thursday.
Two contract employees of the electricity department, a line inspector, and a meter reader went to Kabir Nagar, Motinagar to check meter readings when the incident occurred.
While checking meter readings at a house, the duo asked the residents to pay the pending electricity bills which had accumulated to over Rs. 6,000 over the past several months.
