A fuel tanker overturned at the side of the road leaving two people including the driver injured in the accident. Many locals can be seen around, but not helping the injured, rather trying to scoop up whatever overflowing petrol they can. While some used funnels to fill their bottles, others their bare hands. This incident was captured on camera when a fuel tanker, going from Gwalior to Sheopur, overturned in Pohri due to overspeeding. Videos from the area have gone viral on social media.

In the video, villagers from Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, can be seen collecting petrol in plastic bottles & containers from the overturned fuel tanker. Some even came on bikes to get their share of free petrol. Petrol and diesel prices have seen dramatic surges in recent times across the country and have breached Rs 100 per litre mark in many states.
