A mobile court in Shibganj, Chapainawabganj, fined Nayan Filling Station 10,000 BDT on Saturday (March 28) for creating an artificial fuel crisis.

Despite displaying a banner claiming to be out of stock, an executive magistrate's raid revealed a hidden reserve of 2,489 liters of petrol and 10,941 liters of diesel.

Executive Magistrate Sabbir Ahmed Robel conducted the operation in the Pukhuria area based on a tip-off and penalized the establishment under the Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009. The station was ordered to resume sales immediately to alleviate public distress caused by the hoarding.
