'Didn't do it on purpose': Indian-origin gas station owner in Canada says he's facing racist attack after selling contaminated gas

Indian-origin gas station owner in Ontario, Sukhwinder Kandhola, said he has been facing attacks after contaminated fuel was sold from his Eso gas station. "We didn't do this on purpose. Some people are spreading this misinformation, which is not correct. It just happened. We don’t know still why it happened. And how the water got into the gas. The engineering company is trying to figure it out," he said to CTV News.

“Some people are trying to defame us and going on social media and putting bad comments,” said Kandhola. “It’s taking a toll on our mental health. Our kids are reading those comments. We are part of this community. We have been here for eight years.”
