Know the whole matter
AOA disconnected the resident’s flat’s electricity supply. When he went to the maintenance office and inquired, he was informed that the recharge of the prepaid meter was over. This created a tussle between both the parties and the Police had to intervene.
Prashant Mishra lives with his family in Tower C of the society. He told that he reached the flat with his family at around 1.30 am on Friday. Then after some time, the electricity of the flat was cut off. After waiting for some time, he went to the maintenance office to inquire and got the information that the recharge of the prepaid meter was over. It is alleged, that, the recharge of Rs 1000 that was done a day before, the AOA deducted the money for repair and painting from the meter.
Resident Prashant Mishra alleges that under the UP Apartment Act, electricity cannot be cut at night. Then the prepaid meter could not be recharged either. The AOA president demanded to start the electricity supply, but they refused.
Police reached the spot
After a lot of ruckus, the power supply was started after about two and a half hours. Residents informed that the AOA has deployed bouncers in the maintenance office. On complaint, Bisrakh Kotwali police reached the spot. It is alleged that even on the call of the police, the AOA president did not come down. After a lot of commotion, the AOA started the electricity supply after about two and a half hours. It is alleged that due to lack of electricity, everyone in the family, including the elderly, was troubled. The family could not sleep.
Allegation of indecency on the part of bouncers
Residents allege that on Saturday, June 8, 2024, when some women of the society reached the maintenance office for talks, bouncers were deployed there. Who did not let them talk? Residents have accused the bouncers of indecency. It is alleged that there was also pushing and shoving. Police reached for information and pacified the matter.
There is a dispute going on regarding the repair and painting tender
The AOA has started the work of repair and painting in society. It is alleged that the tender was issued following a wrong procedure. The consent of the residents was not taken in issuing the tender. The GBM meeting was also not held. Now the AOA is collecting the tender amount from the electricity meter of the residents. This amount is being deducted from the prepaid meters of the residents in four monthly instalments. There is a dispute between the residents and the AOA on this. The matter has reached the Deputy Registrar.
AOA President accuses mob lynching
Ajay Singh, President of the AOA of the society, says, “electricity meter of Prashant Mishra, a resident of the society, remains more than minus 250 every day for the last 10 days. He is doing this intentionally. Even on Friday night, his electricity was not cut. The electricity tripped due to the third AC running in his house. He was also asked to recharge. The recharge facility is available 24 hours, but he did not recharge. He pushed the maintenance team and snatched the mobile. When he asked to reconnect the electricity, the AOA asked him to fill a form, but he did not agree and also used abusive language on the phone. Got the meter recharged at 5:32 in the morning.”
He says, “I was working in the maintenance office on Saturday afternoon when they reached the office with about 50 people. They aimed to attack me lethally. They had reached there with the intention of mob lynching. It is alleged that some of the people who came to the office tried to shut down the CCTV camera. They have evidence of both incidents. A complaint will be lodged with the police.”
