Next time, if your vehicle runs out of petrol and if you head to the petrol bunk at MG Road in Bengaluru to fill fuel, you may be denied petrol if you offer cash payment. 

Recently, a video of a man wiping his currency note with his saliva and mucus was doing the rounds on social media triggering panic all around. 

The staff at the bunk said they are scared cash transactions could lead to coronavirus spread. 

Hence, they encourage only digital mode of payments and do not accept cash payments till the lockdown is lifted completely.
