UP STF Busts Fuel Adulteration Racket, Five Arrested

In Lucknow, the police caught a group that was mixing cheap chemicals with gasoline and diesel to make more money.

They would steal fuel from tanker trucks, mix in solvents bought at a lower cost, and sell the fake fuel at a higher price to buyers.

After receiving a tip, the police raided a site, arrested five people, and are looking for the leaders of the group.

They found fuel, chemicals, and equipment.

Using this kind of fuel can damage car engines.
