‘Some power consumers receiving phone messages over removal of connections’
The Chairman and Managing Director of Andhra Pradesh Eastern Power Distribution Company Limited (APEPDCL) K. Santhosha Rao in a press release appealed to the consumers not to believe the rumours coming through unknown phone numbers and on social media, here on Tuesday.
The CMD ordered the vigilance officials to investigate the issues when the officials alerted him that messages such as connections would be removed overnight for not paying electricity bills, were coming to the phones of some consumers from persons who are not related to the company.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
