Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation [CESC] — unethical action against senior citizen by cesc

Repeated inspection done by cesc staff of my mother's meter box consumer id (Xxxx) in our absence. My mother's flat @ bangur avenue location, kolkata is vacant since nov 2017. I lost my mother as on 25th march'17. My father is a psychriatic patient who started suffering after loss of his wife. He had undergone medication @ nursing home since nov2017 - dec2018, post which he is staying with me as per doctor's advise. I am only daughter, married woman, & working mother as well. I do hardly visit my bangur avenue house once a month or fortnightly. Suddenly one fir lodged against my dad regarding pilferage of electricity which is completely out of our knowledge. The meter box key is holding by building secretary not by us! Its a complete false allegation against a senior citizen who does stay with me & has no intention to harm anyone. Our electricity usage is very minimal as we do visit rarely for an hour or two. It has been falsely alleged that we have done tampering, which is not possible by us as the key access is not with us. Inspection again done as on 19th july 2019 in front o[censored]s and we are shocked to hear this pilferage incident. Please be intimated we are not staying in our bangur avenue house since 2017. After april 2017 my dad used to stay alone and hardly any maximum electricity consumption done. After nov 2017 our flat is vacant. Today i, being daughter visited cesc loss control cell, tried to show all our relevant documents but cesc staff mentioned that they will calculate one year electric consumption which they calculate 1, 70, 000inr which is next to impossible for us to pay. First of all our flat is vacant since 2017 then how the consumption amounts to 1, 70, 000 yearly? They have communicated me verbally. Such a hefty amount calculation is completely a shock for us!! I am sure that whatever has happened in our meter box, entire onus is on the key holder or building secretary. Hence it is a kind request please look into the matter as it is a complete harassment for a senior citizen and for me as well, when we are not at all aware about this pilferage case.
Kindly note, supportive documents will be produced as and when required.

Regards
