Vikarabad: A poor dalit woman attempted suicide before electricity substation on Sunday. Pothagalla Venkatamma, resident of Kulkacharla, is poor widow and is a daily laborer. She came to electricity office to enquire why her electricity connection was disconnected although she has been paying her bills regularly. She was told that as father failed to pay his bill, connection to her home was removed. She questioned AE that she is living in a separate house and is not responsible to pay her father’s bills.

She showed the bills she has paid so far and demanded AE to restore the connection. Dejected by the reckless response from AE, she attempted to commit suicide before substation. She said that AE has harassed her in the past as well when she questioned about disconnection. SI Chandrakanth, who was present on the site, pacified her and stopped her from committing suicide.
