      FactCheck

      BOOM found that the video is from Odisha. On 28 September 2018, a petrol pump in Puri was attacked by an angry mob, alleging that the petrol pump was cheating the public by filling less petrol than what customers paid for. This incident was reported by local news website Odisha Bytes. The headline of the article reads, " Petrol Pump Ransacked In Puri For Dispensing Less Fuel."
