A frustrated Kansai Electric Power Co. employee deliberately caused a power outage affecting around 130 households in central Osaka late last month, and his case was sent to prosecutors Tuesday, police said.
The employee, a 37-year-old man whose name has been withheld, is suspected of obstructing Kepco's business by manipulating its power distribution systems, the police said.
According to the Naniwa Police Station, the man has admitted to the charge.
