According to information, the incident took place around 6 am on Wednesday at Shri Bachchan Dhan Patte Wale Petrol Pump on NH-46.
A car travelling from Guna towards Shivpuri stopped at the pump. One of the youths got out and asked salesman Narendra Dangi to fill petrol worth ₹2,100.
The youth asked for the pump’s QR code, saying he would send its screenshot to an acquaintance who would make the online payment. Trusting him, the salesman started filling the petrol.
After the tank was filled, the youth got into the car while talking on his phone. The driver then started the car and sped away from the pump without making the payment. The salesman tried to stop the car, but the youths managed to escape.
The pump management later filed a complaint with the Kolaras police. Police have taken the CCTV footage for investigation.
Car had no number plate
Police said the suspected car had no number plate on either the front or rear side. This has raised suspicion that the incident may have been planned.
Police are now checking the CCTV footage to identify the car and the youths involved.
Further action will be taken based on the investigation.
