Imagine paying ₹110 a litre not for petrol, but for tap water in disguise. That’s exactly what happened to a man in Hyderabad, who caught a petrol pump red-handed after his car broke down due to water-mixed fuel. The scam looks like something straight out of a dark comedy, but for vehicle owners, it’s no laughing matter. Here’s the anatomy of this daylight robbery:
1. Brezza Stops, Scam Starts
Mahesh filled petrol at the hpcl bunk in Sherriguda. The next day, his car stalled. The mechanic revealed the ugly truth—his “petrol” was nothing but water-polluted fuel.
2. Water Bottle Proof
To confirm, Mahesh asked for petrol in a bottle. What came out wasn’t fuel—it was half a bottle of water, half petrol. Scam exposed, no escape.
3. Scamsters Inspired by “Gadbadi” Culture
From tampered meters to adulterated fuel, petrol pumps are notorious. But now, they’ve taken it to Olympic levels—selling drinking water as premium petrol.
4. Car Owners Pay the Price—Literally
Engines corrode, mileage tanks, and repairs run into thousands. For the common man, one scam refill = one month’s salary gone.
5. When Banks Turn Into Bunks
The incident happened at an HPCL bunk—making it even worse. If even “authorized” outlets can serve water instead of petrol, who can the public trust?
6. Argument Turns Into Assault
When Mahesh confronted the staff, things turned ugly. Instead of accountability, the staff allegedly assaulted him. From fraud to violence—scamsters have no shame.
7. Public Beware: Always Check Your Fuel
Citizens are warned—carry a bottle, test your petrol, and record proof. Because in Hyderabad, your vehicle’s worst enemy might not be potholes, but petrol pumps.
👉 Bottom Line: Why worry about oil imports, when petrol pumps are selling water like OPEC 2.0? In Modi’s “Amrit Kaal,” we’re not drinking fuel—but driving on it.
