Faridabad police have signed six people, in addition to the farm owner, for allegedly stealing electricity from a high-voltage cable from Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (DHBVNL) and supplying it via underground cables to forty-five farms in Uttar Pradesh. So far no arrests have been made, police said.
According to police, the illegal source of electricity delivered greater noida farms from Sector 66 in Faridabad. According to police, 11,000 lines were provided and 24 transformers were operating on the connections.
THE DHBVN fined the main defendant, Pradeep Tyagi, owner of the Faridabad farm, with 1.04 ₹ crore, which had stolen electricity. To Articles 136 and 137 of the Electricity Act 2003; Articles 120 B (conspiracy), 204 (destruction of documents) and 463 (forgery) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Articles 7 and 8 of the Corruption Prevention Act 1988 were registered at Bhupani Police Station in Faridabad.
The suspects were known as former subdivision officer (SDO) Sandeep Kundu, former junior engineer (JE) Nishant Rohilla, JE Jai Jitendra Singh, outsourcers Devi Ram and Kanhaiya Lal, and Pradeep Tyagi, a resident of Dadasiya village.
Faridabad police commissioner O P Singh said a raid carried out through DHBVN officials on July 16, 19 and 22 in Kirawali village across the Yamuna River after the authority obtained data. “On July 14, DHBVN’s chief operating officer obtained data on electricity theft, after which a team formed under the direction of XEN (Energy Audit) Shamsher Singh, along with SDO (Energy Audit) Ajit Kumar, SDO Upendera Kumar and other branch officials,” he said.
Singh stated that, according to the inspection team, a random inspection at the site revealed that a higher voltage line erected through DHBVN along the banks of the Yamuna to supply electrical power to Pradeep Tyagi was operated illegally with a hundred KVA transformer installed at the site a three-lead 70 mm 70 mm 11 KV XLPE underground cable.
The line was connected to a foreign parallel distribution network of tubular and iron poles outside the DHBVN license or jurisdiction domain in Uttar Pradesh. “The electrical connection provided to Tyagi for a rate of 15 KW, which can be fed simply through a 25 KVA transformer. The 25 KVA transformer had been illegally switched to a 100 KVA transformer to increase the capacity that would allow the stolen electrical power source to more premises. The extraterrestrial distribution network, among other infrastructures, consisted of 24 reducing transformers with a capacity of one hundred KVA and 25 KVA,” he said.
Police said they also later discovered that 23 of those transformers did not have identity plates indicating asset details, logo or year of manufacture.
All of these transformers were used to supply electricity to the occupants of at least forty-five farms in Uttar Pradesh, police said.
The electricity meter installed at Tyagi’s facility was disconnected under the hundred KVA transformer and its facilities were connected directly to the distribution network without passing through the meter.
DHBVN officials retrieved the original meter and LT cable that had been installed to connect the meter. “The recovery shows that the publications were owned by DHBVN and were stolen through connivance suspects with DHVBN officials and employees, who were signed up for the plot. This fraud only has the effect of a loss of income, but it also opposes the law.” he said.
Singh claimed that neither Tyagi’s farm nor the other forty-five farms have a legal electrical connection from the relevant distribution concessionaire in Uttar Pradesh. In fact, the Uttar Pradesh distribution concessionaire had cut off the power source to forty-five farms in 2013-14, after which the owners of those farms organized the installation of the high-voltage line and related infrastructure across the Yamuna River. because of the illegal source of electricity.
The police have shaped that they are proceeding with their investigation.
Shamsher Singh, XEN (Energy Audit) of Hisar DHBVN stated that it estimated that the amount of electricity stolen was about 220 KV and in the initial consultation they discovered that 3 former and two existing workers were involved in the theft. “After an inventory of the situation, a complaint was filed against the owner and officials of the estate,” he said.
Subhash Chand, SHO, an irrigation and electric power police station, said they had notified 44 farms in Greater Noida and given them a seven-day ultimatum to pay a fine of 1.04 chromium ₹, or else they would be arrested.
Police said the fraud was reported after a worker at one of the farms, whose salary had been deducted, informed the workplace of DHBVN (Hisar’s rank) and told the full story, after which a team from Hisar’s workplace conducted an initial investigation in July. 17.
