Action against power pilferers proved costly for the Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GEPCO) employees in Hafizabad on Thursday as a lawyer, along with his friends, beat them up at court premises and also resorted to firing at them, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
As per the case registered on the complaint of GEPCO SD, the culprits had stopped the power company team from taking action against those stealing electricity.
Later, as a protest against the police’s failure to arrest the suspects, GEPCO suspended the power supply to entire tehsil, consisting of Pindi Bhattian sub-division, Vaneke Tarar sub-division, and Jalalpur Bhattian.
