Lineman Cuts Power to Police Station in Uttar Pradesh After Helmet Fine

Unexpected Retaliation by Lineman in Hardoi

In a surprising incident in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, a lineman took matters into his own hands after being fined for not wearing a helmet while riding. He retaliated by disconnecting the illegal electricity supply to the local police station, highlighting a significant hypocrisy in law enforcement that has since gained traction on social media.

Details of the Incident

The lineman, identified as Upendra Yadav, was conducting his duties on a motorcycle when he was stopped at a traffic checkpoint in Sawaijpur. Despite explaining that his work necessitated frequent stops for inspections, he was issued a fine. In response to this perceived injustice, Yadav decided to investigate the police station's power supply and discovered it was operating on an unauthorized connection. He promptly cut off the electricity.

Equal Application of the Law

Sarfaraz Ahmed, a Junior Engineer, supported Yadav's actions, asserting that traffic regulations should be upheld by everyone, including the police. The Sawaijpur police station had been using an illegal power connection due to the lack of a proper electricity setup in its newly built facility.

Public Reaction and Viral Video

A video capturing Yadav's act of cutting the power supply has sparked widespread debate in the district. Many citizens are now questioning whether law enforcement should prioritize their adherence to regulations before imposing fines on others.
