A mobile court in Gazipur’s Konabari area seized 34,000 liters of illegally stored fuel from a filling station that had displayed a 'No Oil' sign. The operation, led by Executive Magistrate Salehur Rahman on Monday night, uncovered 28,521 liters of diesel and 5,419 liters of octane from Messrs Abdul Ali Filling Station beside the Dhaka–Tangail highway. The station’s manager, Abul Kashem Babul, 60, was sentenced to one month of simple imprisonment for the offense.

According to court sources, the raid followed a tip-off that the station was hoarding fuel while suspending sales under the pretext of shortage. Law enforcement personnel, including members of Ansar and the Border Guard Bangladesh, assisted in the operation. The station was sealed following the seizure.

The magistrate ordered that the confiscated fuel be sold through the responsible officer of Gazipur City Corporation’s Ward 9, with proceeds deposited into the government treasury. He also stated that similar drives would continue in the public interest.
