Updated: 2024-10-28
HYDERABAD: A man was arrested after igniting a fire during fuel dispensing, which led to a panic situation at a fuel station in Nacharam on Saturday evening. A major disaster was averted as the fire was quickly contained using the station’s fire safety equipment.
Police officials also arrested a fuel station worker who was manning the pump for provoking and challenging the customer.
According to police, Chandan Kumar (19) and his friends had come to refuel their scooter. During the visit, he jokingly suggested he would ignite a lighter at the petrol bunk. Arun Kumar (33), who was manning the pump, challenged him to do so “if he has the guts.”
Both individuals jeopardised the safety of many with their reckless actions, as Chandan ignited the fire and Arun neglected to intervene. “They were arrested and remanded to judicial custody,” stated G Rudvir Kumar, the station house officer of Nacharam.
The incident was captured on CCTV, and the footage has since gone viral on social media.
