This incident has left many people concerned. Netizens are saying that there have been fights over filling ofCNG at petrol pumps in this area several times earlier too. And these fights have turned more serious.

The root of the problem seems to lie in unresolved conflicts between customers and petrol pump staff regarding the process of CNG filling.

This has contributed to a sense of impunity among petrol pump employees, encouraged them to act with aggression in disputes, rather than seeking peaceful resolutions.
