Authorities in Chauddagram, Cumilla, are investigating allegations against the Chaudhury Filling Station for selling fuel at inflated prices during nighttime hours while claiming shortages during the day. The issue resurfaced after earlier irregularities, including a fine of 50,000 taka imposed on August 25 for underweight fuel sales. Despite this penalty, reports indicate that the station’s manager, Nasir Uddin, charged an extra five taka per liter for diesel and additional amounts for petrol and octane.
Local transport operators and motorcycle riders have complained of being unable to purchase fuel during the day. However, after 8 p.m., soil transport businesses reportedly collect large quantities of fuel in drums. During a field visit on Tuesday evening, journalists observed fuel being loaded into vehicles, and one buyer confirmed paying extra for diesel. When questioned, the manager refused to comment and left the scene.
Chauddagram Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md. Nurul Amin visited the site following complaints but stated that the accused had left before his arrival. He added that further action would be taken if similar allegations arise again.
