Between April 22, 2024, and October 29, 2024, she collected money from customers for electricity bills. However, after receiving the payments, she cancelled the receipts in the system and kept the money for herself. This caused a total loss of Rs 2.89 lakh to both the customers and Meshram. Following Meshram’s complaint, a case was registered against Vaishali Gangulkar.
