A serious incident of misconduct was exposed after a LESCO officer was caught camera harassing a woman customer. The officer allegedly demanded sexual favors in exchange for reducing her electricity bill.
The case came to light through a sting operation conducted by ARY News’ program Sar-e-Aam. The team captured the officer’s actions on camera, revealing his inappropriate behavior.
According to reports, the LESCO officer, identified as Tahir, told the woman he would only adjust her electricity bill if she met his personal demands. The woman, facing financial hardship, sought help from the Sar-e-Aam team to resolve the issue safely.
The victim explained that her electricity bill of Rs. 18,000 was a heavy burden. Her husband earns just Rs. 25,000 per month, making it difficult to manage household expenses. She said the officer’s pressure caused her extreme stress and emotional pain.
During the sting operation, the officer’s coercive behavior was clearly recorded, showing him repeatedly making inappropriate requests. The video evidence has sparked public outrage and demands for immediate action against the officer.
The superintendent of LESCO, present during the operation, appeared visibly embarrassed by the revelations. Authorities have said they will investigate the matter thoroughly.
Experts note that this case highlights the vulnerability of citizens when dealing with public service officials. They stress the importance of reporting misconduct and using official channels to address grievances safely.
This incident also underscores the power of investigative journalism. By exposing the camera harassing behavior, the media played a crucial role in holding the officer accountable.
The woman hopes that the exposure will prevent similar incidents in the future. She called for strict action against the officer and stronger protections for citizens dealing with utility services.
LESCO has pledged to review its internal policies and ensure staff members are trained to serve the public ethically. Citizens are urged to report any misconduct immediately to prevent abuse of authority.
The camera harassing footage has become a key piece of evidence, demonstrating the serious consequences of misuse of power by public officials.
