The incident took place when a team of the Ghaziabad electricity department visits the neighborhood for an inspection in the area. An official was recording the video for illegally connected wire when the man crawls into his balcony to cut the wire in order to erase any shreds of evidence of electricity theft.
The official can be heard saying “I’m standing right here brother”.
