A petrol pump in Diamond Harbour area of West Bengal has been found to be allegedly selling adulterated petrol. The pump in question, named Bhedu Babu petrol pump, has been accused by some bikers of selling petrol mixed with kerosene.
This issue created a ruckus inside the petrol pump on Tuesday, following which a crowd gathered in front of the filling station, and the police were called in. According to reports, samples of the allegedly ‘mixed’ oil were taken by the police officers for testing. The petrol pump employees, however, have denied all the charges and asked for a quality check of the petrol filled at their petrol pump. The bikers who alleged the mixing of kerosene in petrol were also called to the police station. Results of the test are yet to come.
