A grocery shopkeeper named Dilshad Ali in Nawabganj upazila of Dinajpur has been fined Tk 50,000 for selling petrol at an inflated price. The fine was imposed on Tuesday night by Upazila Nirbahi Officer and Executive Magistrate Md. Zillur Rahman during a drive in the Daudpur Bazar area. Dilshad, son of the late Yakub Ali from Laugari village in Daudpur Union, was reportedly selling petrol at Tk 350 per litre.

The action was part of a local administrative effort to curb overpricing of essential commodities and ensure compliance with government-set fuel prices. The inspection and penalty were carried out under the authority of the upazila administration.

The report did not mention whether further legal measures or follow-up monitoring would take place after the fine.
