A Lahore Electric Supply Company officer allegedly sexually harassed a woman customer and demanded sexual favors in exchange for reducing her electricity bill, according to a report aired on ARY News.
The incident surfaced during a sting operation conducted by the channel’s investigative program Sar e Aam. The operation recorded the officer’s conduct on camera.
The report said the officer, identified as Tahir, told the woman he would only adjust her bill if she agreed to meet his personal demands. He allegedly repeated the condition despite her objections.
The woman, facing financial hardship, approached the Sar e Aam team for help. She said her monthly electricity bill stood at Rs. 18,000, while her husband earns only Rs. 25,000 a month.
She said the bill placed severe pressure on her household finances. She also said she often broke down in tears during meetings with the officer. Despite this, she said he continued to pressure her for illicit relations.
