Karnal, September 26: Karnal was rocked by dramatic scenes on Wednesday after a BMW driver exposed a suspected Petrol fraud at Tejendra Petrol Pump near Alpha City on GT Road. What began as routine refueling turned into a two-hour standoff when car owner Ravindra noticed a glaring discrepancy in his fuel bill. He had asked staff to fill his 70-litre tank, but was handed a receipt showing 76.70 litres of petrol—well beyond the vehicle’s capacity.

Startled, Ravindra confronted the staff, demanding an explanation. Tensions escalated until police intervened, reported Jagran. In the presence of officers, the fuel was drained from the car, revealing only 57 litres, despite the vehicle already holding more than five litres prior to refueling. The finding indicated a shortage of nearly 20 litres, raising strong suspicion of malpractice. Fuel & Run in Hathras: Driver Flees After Filling 31 Litres Petrol, Rips Off Nozzle and Escapes; Probe Ordered After Bizarre Theft Caught on CCTV Video.

The chaos, captured on video, has since gone viral, amplifying public outrage. Ravindra alleged that staff initially resisted but later agreed to drain the fuel, which further raised doubts about the pump’s operations. The petrol pump manager attempted to defend the discrepancy, arguing that some petrol remained in the tank and could only be accessed by a mechanic, a claim Ravindra dismissed as baseless. Gorakhpur Petrol Pump Brawl Video: Woman Creates Ruckus at Fuel Pump, Gets Into Fight With Female Attendant Over ‘No Helmet, No Fuel’ Rule.

Investigating Officer SI Sandeep said action would depend on whether Ravindra lodges a formal complaint. District Food and Supplies Controller (DFSC) Anil Kumar also assured that a proper inquiry would be conducted if an official complaint is filed. The incident has sparked anger among residents, renewing concerns about transparency and consumer rights at fuel stations.
