The Ratlam district administration on learning about the incident immediately ordered a probe into the incident and sealed the petrol pump and booked its owner.Chief minister Mohan Yadav and VIPs were supposed to arrive at the airstrip in Ratlam on Friday morning and were supposed to be taken to the venue in vehicles that were sourced from an Indore-based travel agent. The agency sent the vehicles 15 hours before the CM's arrival and got it refuelled. "Apparently, diesel mixed with water was filled in the vehicles at the petrol pump. The vehicles got stranded and were being repaired," naib tehsildar Ashish Upadhyay, who rushed to the spot to inspect the petrol pump, told reporters.All the vehicles stopped moving soon after refuelling. A driver, Shubham Parmar, said that it was unprecedented to find water in diesel. Mechanics were pressed into action in the night. Fuel tanks were removed from the vehicles and emptied.
