Hindustan Times Lucknow
|June 18, 2025
Samajwadi Party (SP) MP from Sambhal, Ziaur Rehman Barq, has deposited ₹6 lakh with the electricity department in compliance with an Allahabad high court directive in an ongoing electricity theft case, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
MEERUT:
The payment paves the way for the restoration of electricity to the MP's residence in Deepa Sarai later today, following a contentious legal battle that began in December 2023.
The case originated on December 17, 2023, when the electricity department installed a smart meter at Barq's residence. Two days later, on December 19, a load inspection revealed alleged power theft, with 16 kilowatts of electricity usage recorded despite the MP having two registered 2-kilowatt connections.
