Sambhal MP Zia-ur-Rahman Barq is facing power theft charges after officials discovered discrepancies with his electricity meter. A 2KW domestic connection allegedly bypassed the meter, powering appliances like ACs, resulting in a detected load of 16,480 watts. While officials replaced the meter, Barq's lawyer denies any wrongdoing, citing a 5KW solar connection and a generator as the power source.
