A mobile court in Bakshiganj upazila of Jamalpur fined a man named Md Jamrul Mia Tk 50,000 for illegally storing and selling petrol and diesel at nearly twice the government-fixed price. The operation took place on Friday night, April 10, 2026, in front of the Messrs Paresh Chandra Saha Filling Station at Tinanipara. The drive was led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) Asma-ul Husna.
According to the operation report, Jamrul Mia had long been storing fuel at his own shop and selling it at inflated prices, creating an artificial shortage. Earlier, authorities had seized 120 liters of petrol from his shop and fined him Tk 10,000 with a warning. Despite that, he continued the illegal practice, prompting renewed action under the Consumer Rights Protection Act.
Officials stated that similar drives against illegal fuel hoarding and overpricing will continue in the area to protect consumers and ensure compliance with government pricing regulations.
