FPJ Fact Check: Can petrol pumps sell fuel only to vehicles that have colour-coded stickers in Mumbai?

"Pls get your car filled with fuel as from tomorrow the pumps have been instructed by the police to give fuel only to those cars who have the red, green or yellow stickers," reads the WhatsApp message.

The Free Press Journal then fact-checked the viral message and found it fake. We contacted the Mumbai Police spokesperson and he has confirmed that no such instruction has been given to the petrol pump owners.
