In a rather shocking revelation, it's been found that numerous petrol pumps around the state have been hoodwinking consumers with rigged systems. The employees at these gas stations may still wave at fuel monitor and urge you to keep a sharp eye on it, but a statewide raid, in which 11,000 units were inspected, has exposed the large-scale con job where lesser fuel is dispensed for the demanded price.

After social media was flooded with complaints, officials pressed the action button. Consequently, several pump units have been served notices for duping motorists and officials have demanded clarifications from them. According the report in this newspaper, units in the Andheri, Bandra, Vile Parle, Khar belt and also in Bhandup and Chembur have been put under the scanner.
