&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Family members claim it was an inflated one while the state-run power company says victim had never been billed since he had taken a borewell connection in 2010&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Patna: &lt;/em&gt;A Bihar farmer who received an electricity bill for around Rs 50,000 in December and paid Rs 25,000 after taking loans hanged himself on Thursday after power officials insisted on full payment, his family said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Family members of 48-year-old Dinesh Singh of Naugai village, Rohtas district, said the bill &amp;mdash; for the connection to a borewell on his small patch of farmland &amp;mdash; was an inflated one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Officials of the state-run South Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited (SBPDCL) said the bill was correct. They said Dinesh had never been billed since he had taken the connection in October 2010, and that the December 4, 2020, bill covered the entire period since then &amp;mdash; along with interest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Key points that emerged from conversations with the farmer&amp;rsquo;s family and power officials:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;No staggering: SBPDCL general manager (revenue) Arvind Kumar said: &amp;ldquo;Sometimes a consumer does not get billed. When it&amp;rsquo;s detected, his power consumption is traced through our system and he is billed accordingly. One or two such cases happen.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Couldn&amp;rsquo;t the bill amount have been staggered over a few months, since it was not Dinesh&amp;rsquo;s fault that he was never billed before?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;There is no provision for sending bills in a staggered manner,&amp;rdquo; Kumar said.&lt;/p&gt;

Bihar farmer hangs himeslf over electricity bill -Dev Raj

-PTI/ The Telegraph Family members claim it was an inflated one while the state-run power company says victim had never been billed since he had taken a borewell connection in 2010 Patna: A Bihar farmer who received an electricity bill for around Rs 50,000 in December and paid Rs 25,000 after taking loans hanged himself on Thursday after power officials insisted on full payment, his family said. Family members of 48-year-old Dinesh Singh of Naugai village, Rohtas district, said the bill — for the connection to a borewell on his small patch of farmland — was an inflated one. Officials of the state-run South Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited (SBPDCL) said the bill was correct. They said Dinesh had never been billed since he had taken the connection in October 2010, and that the December 4, 2020, bill covered the entire period since then — along with interest. Key points that emerged from conversations with the farmer’s family and power officials: No staggering: SBPDCL general manager (revenue) Arvind Kumar said: “Sometimes a consumer does not get billed. When it’s detected, his power consumption is traced through our system and he is billed accordingly. One or two such cases happen.” Couldn’t the bill amount have been staggered over a few months, since it was not Dinesh’s fault that he was never billed before? “There is no provision for sending bills in a staggered manner,” Kumar said.
