[Resolved]  Hp Gas — CHEATING BY PETROL PUMP

Address:

Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

I have to bring to your attention, the fraudulent manner in which billing is done by petrol pump attendants at Sachdeva Automobiles (H.P. Petrol Pump) on S.V. Road, Malad West. On 22nd August, 2012 I suffered the misfortune of being duped of about Rs. 300 by the attendants when I was getting my car tank filled with ordinary petrol. I had instructed the attendant to fill the tank and I was observing the meter which was near-about Rs. 2600 when one of the attendants diverted my attention and in the next instant, the filling attendant pulled out the nozzle from my car’s fuel tank and I saw the meter reading being turned to zero followed by the figure showing Rs. 2970! I could see one of the attendants manually typing that figure on the keyboard. Quickly it was again restored to zero. Since it all happened so soon, I did not realize it till I paid off the amount. Even the bill was given to me only after I asked for it. Later on I observed that they have shown 36.12 litres amounting to Rs. 2970! By no arithmetic, 36.12 litres of ordinary petrol can cost Rs. 2970 on 22nd August. But since I was already on the S.V. Road, in the midst of a terrible jam, there was no way I could turn back to confront the criminals manning this petrol pump. I have lodged a complaint with HP and someone from the petrol pump called me up assuring me of some action.
