After an argument with an employee about online fuel payment, a young man with a toy gun created a ruckus at a petrol pump in Hyderabad on Monday, October 17. The man and two others ransacked the pump’s office as well. The incident took place at an Indian Oil pump in the Bahadurpura area in Old City. A video of the youth kicking a few two-wheelers while holding the toy gun in one hand went viral on social media.
The incident occurred after the youth filled his motorcycle with Rs 500 worth of fuel and made a UPI payment. As the transaction failed, the worker at the gas station insisted on payment in cash. Then an argument broke out between the two.
The young man then summoned his two companions to the pump. According to a petrol pump employee, they then ransacked the office and attacked the cashier. One of them then pulled out a toy gun and began moving around, causing panic among the bunk’s employees and customers.
Police rushed to the scene after receiving information about the incident. Two of the young men escaped, while the third was caught by bunk employees and turned over to the police. The man was identified as Iftikhar. A search was on for the two other attackers.
Addressing the media, Bahadurpura Station House Officer (SHO) Athi Sudhakar said, “Around 6 pm, at the petrol pump near Purana pul, a man who came on an Activa filled fuel for Rs 500 and didn’t pay for it. This led to an argument with petrol pump employees and he called two more people. One of them showed a toy pistol and threatened the employees. They then destroyed the glass panes of the petrol pump office and hit the petrol pump staff who tried to stop them. One of the three men was caught, and the other two escaped. The man who wielded the toy pistol was identified as Yousuf. A case has been registered and an investigation is ongoing.” he said, adding that the youth were in an inebriated state when the incident took place. A case has been registered.
