  Superconductivity in high temperature superconductors is achieved by
introducing charge carriers into cuprate insulators containing CuO$_2$ planes.
Perturbation in these CuO$_2$ planes suppresses superconductivity by strongly
affecting the electronic environment. Here we have use photoinduced electronic
modification of Cu ion in CuO$_2$ plane to investigate the effect of local
perturbation in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+\delta}$. This method has been
used to suppress superconducting transition temperature T$_c$. We show that our
results on photoinduced suppression of superconductivity are consistent with a
scenario based on pinning of fluctuating stripes in
Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+\delta}$.
