**Madhya Pradesh CM’s Entourage Hit by Fuel Contamination Scandal**
**Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh -** A fueling mishap marred Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s visit to Ratlam on Thursday evening, with at least 19 official vehicles breaking down after being refueled with allegedly water-contaminated diesel.
The incident occurred at a fuel station in Dosigaon village, Ratlam district, where a fleet of mostly SUVs took on fuel around 8 PM. Shortly after, the vehicles experienced engine failures.
Ratlam District Collector Rajesh Batham confirmed the issue, stating that preliminary tests of diesel samples from the pump showed “a variation in diesel density.” An indicator also showed water was present in the diesel, yet the fuel station continued selling it.
The fuel station has been sealed, a formal inquiry is underway, and a First Information Report (FIR) has been filed against the fuel station management.
While Chief Minister Yadav was in Ratlam to attend the MP Rise 2025 Regional Industry, Skill, and Employment Conclave, officials emphasized that the disabled vehicles were not yet part of the Chief Minister’s official convoy at the time of the incident. The incident caused considerable disruption, with mechanics scrambling to make repairs and additional vehicles being requisitioned from Indore to ensure the conclave continued without significant delay.
