A mobile court in Dhamrai, Dhaka, fined the owner of Karim Filling Station Tk 50,000 for supplying less fuel than the specified amount to customers. The operation took place on Wednesday night at the station located near the Kalampur bus stand. The court, led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Ridwan Ahmed Rafi, found that the pump had been cheating customers by giving less fuel for an extended period.

The owner, Monir Hossain, who also serves as the president of the Dhamrai Upazila unit of the Jubo Dal and is a candidate for chairman of the Somvag Union Parishad, was penalized after multiple complaints were verified. During the inspection, it was confirmed that the pump dispensed less fuel than indicated. Several victims stated that such irregularities had been ongoing for a long time.

Monir Hossain later claimed, while concealing his identity as the owner, that the issue was due to a machine malfunction. The executive magistrate said similar drives would continue to protect consumer interests and prevent future fraud.
