Dhaka Power Distribution Company or DPDC has suspended four, including an executive engineer, and asked 30 others to explain why the customers received the ghost bills. The staffers facing the notices will also be suspended or sacked if they fail to give satisfactory explanations. ATM Harun-or-Rashid, a director of DPDC, said they received 4,000 complaints over inflated bills but many of those were incorrect. The company adjusted the bills of the customers, whose allegations were found correct in the investigation, he said. AKM Mohiuddin, chief engineer at DESCO’s East Zone, said they found 927 customers had received double the bills than the electricity they had used.
