Uttar Pradesh: The district traffic police issued a fine of Rs 6,000 to the lineman whose monthly salary is Rs 5,000.
Irked by being fined for not wearing a helmet while riding a bike, a lineman in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli cut the power supply of a police station citing overdue bills.
According to reports, the district traffic police issued a fine of Rs 6,000 to the contractual employee from the state power department for the traffic violation. However, it is still not clear why a hefty fine of Rs 6,000 was issued as the official penalty for not wearing a helmet while riding a two-wheeler in Uttar Pradesh is Rs 2,000.
A video of the incident is going viral on social media, wherein the lineman, whose monthly salary is Rs 5,000, can be seen climbing a pole outside Shamli's Kasba Thana Bhawan and cutting the power supply of the police station.
