There is always some madness in love, but there is always some reason in madness. An Indian man was recently expelled from his village for cutting off the power to the entire settlement whenever he wanted to see his girlfriend.
For weeks, residents of Ganespur, a small village in the Purnia district of eastern Bihar, had to endure frequent power cuts that seemed to occur only a few hours after sunset.
There is always some madness in love, but there is always some logic in madness. An Indian man was recently evicted from his village for cutting the power to the entire settlement whenever he wanted to see his girlfriend.
For weeks, residents of Ganespur, a small village in the Purnia district of East Bihar, had to endure frequent power cuts that seemed to occur only a few hours after sunset.

No one seemed to know what was causing the problems, as the electricity company had not reported any malfunctioning of the power grid and none of the neighbouring villages were experiencing similar issues.
Outraged, many in the villages began to pay attention to the time of the outages and concluded that the power always went out after dark. They began to suspect what was going on and came up with a plan to investigate.
One night, after the power went out as usual in recent weeks, several residents of Ganespur formed a search party and decided to scour the village for answers. After combing the streets, they reached the village schoolyard where they discovered two lovers trying to keep their relationship a secret.
As it turns out, the man, who was an electrician, was so desperate to keep their love a secret that he cut the power for 2-3 hours a night every time they met, just so they wouldn't be seen.
After admitting that he had sabotaged the entire village for weeks, the electrician was allegedly beaten as punishment. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending. After learning of their secret romance, village elders forced the two lovers to marry.
The marriage reportedly saved the electrician from legal repercussions, as no charges were filed against him, according to a local police officer who said: "We have heard about the incident but we will act as soon as we receive a complaint."
