A young woman recently bought a new car and drove to a petrol pump to fill it up. She asked the attendant to add 85 litres of petrol.
After fuelling, the payment slip showed 85 litres, but her car’s meter displayed only 83 litres. When she questioned the difference, the staff claimed her new car’s meter was faulty.
An argument broke out and they asked her to leave or they would call the police. Instead, the woman called the police herself.
In the presence of the police, they drained and measured the petrol from her tank — it was exactly 83 litres.
She had been charged for 85 litres (a difference of just ₹500). The woman filed a complaint, and after investigation confirmed the tampering, authorities suspended the petrol pump’s licence for 7 days.
