A non-cognisable register (NCR) case was duly registered with the Jayanagar Bescom police station.
Malleswaram station was commissioned more than 40 years ago. Bescom officials conducted the raid last Saturday.
Bescom has its own police stations. It has threatened to disconnect power to the police station if the fine is not paid.
