Actor Tanishaa Mukerji has accused the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) of acting 'like mafia' after her Lonavala home was disconnected on Saturday evening. She posted on X that MSEB is 'forcing payment by cutting off electricity' and claimed the bill was paid before the due date. She has appealed to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Tata Power to intervene, saying there is 'no regulation' in Lonavala.

A user asked why she waited until the last date, and Mukerji replied the cutoff was before the due date and the bill amount was unverified. MSEB has not yet responded to her specific complaint. The actor's ancestral property, Frangipani House, was renovated from her grandmother Shobna Samarth's former home.
Both outlets relay Tanishaa Mukerji's allegations without independent verification from MSEB, reproducing her 'mafia' accusation and appeal to the CM. Neither source interrogates the claim that the bill was paid on time or seeks MSEB's version, treating the actor's social media post as the complete story. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of a single complaint, not a deeper examination of electricity board practices. The regulator's response, once it comes, will determine whether fault lies with billing errors or with the actor.
