TAXILA: The police in Wah have registered an electricity theft case against a man who has been dead for five years.

Taj Begum, a local resident, petitioned the court stating that the Wah Saddar Police Station registered an FIR against her husband Noor Elahi on August 28, 2015, for allegedly stealing electricity.

She then produced documents in court to prove that Elahi had died in August, 2010.
