Man Enters Petrol Pump Office, Offers Prayers, Then Steals Rs 1.57 Lakh

At the time of the incident, the petrol pump employees were sleeping at the fuel bank - located on the Soyat Kalan - Sujalpur highway.

A thief offered prayers to a deity before stealing a huge amount of money from a petrol pump in Madhya Pradesh's Machalpur district. The incident reportedly took place on Saturday night.

CCTV footage of the incident shows the man, wearing a blue jacket, entering the petrol pump's office at night. He first paused as he saw a 'puja' place in the office and can be seen bowing before the deity and seeking blessings.

The man then continued to pull out drawers to look for money.
