KSEB chairman files complaint about gang creating fake bills

Thiruvananthapuram: Chairman and managing director of state electricity board B Ashok has lodged a complaint with the city police commissioner over the reports of a group who are involved in KSEB bill fraud.

The messages also warn of power disconnection if the amount is not paid immediately.

The KSEB has been receiving widespreada complaints about this fraud and many consumers have lost their money.
The chairman of the board has urged the police commissioner to check whether any inter-state gang is involved in this.
