A.Dear client,
Please ask the owner to complain to the electrical office. If you are just a mere tenant, they may not take your complaint seriously until a registered customer has reported the irregularity or issue to the power supplying authority.

A.Dear Client,
In case you are sharing the room with your friend as Tenant, you need to bring the irregularities in the consumption of electricity and exorbitant billing to the notice of the land/Building Owner so that the matter may be reported to the Electricity Office from the end of Building Owner. Until and unless a registered consumer reported the irregularities or problem to the Power supplying authority they may not entertain your complaint.
