In the town of Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh, Mamlukh Rahman Birk, the father of SP MP Zia Ur Rahman Birk, is under fire with an FIR for allegedly intimidating power department officials during a routine check. What's more, a video that captures Mamlukh Rahman's aggressive interaction with these officials has surfaced, indicating the volatile incident. In the clip, he can be heard declaring ominously to the officers, 'Once this government is out, we will bring you down.'
It's important to note that SP MP Zia Ur Rahman Birk has been slapped with a hefty fine of 19.1 million imposed by the electricity department on charges of power theft. Not only has an FIR been lodged against him, but the electricity supplies to his residence have been cut off as well.
Following a zero meter reading at the MP's residence, the administration decided to take firm action. As confirmed by SDO Santosh Tripathi from the electricity department, a notice will be sent out, and if payment isn't made within 15 days, a Recovery Certificate will be issued.
Additionally, Executive Engineer Vinod Kumar reported that the meter at the MP's house consistently showed a zero reading, arousing suspicion. Consequently, the meter was sealed and sent to the lab for an MRI test, which revealed tampering. A complaint was filed, leading to an FIR against the MP. Despite previous attempts three months ago to check the meter, they were met with resistance from the household, preventing any change.
On the previous Thursday, as the electricity department team backed by a substantial police force entered the SP MP's residence, every nook and cranny was scrutinized, recording all electronic devices. Junior Engineer Bhupendra Gangal recounted that during this raid, the MP’s father threatened, 'When the government changes, we will deal with everyone.'

On a related note, SP of Sambhal, Krishna Kumar Bishnoi, disclosed that the inciting incident took place early Thursday morning at 7:30 in Deepa Sarai, where Santosh Tripathi, accompanied by engineers Bhupendra Gangal and Ajay Sharma, were accosted by threats while examining electrical apparatus at the MP's family home. During this, Mamlukh Rahman Birk allegedly hurled abuse at the engineers and obstructed their official duties, asserting ominously that things would change when the government does. The electricity department officials managed to record the unfolding event on video.
