Any fact checks on this?
Yeah there are many such incidents where central government vehicles are used. It's unlikely these many incidents can happen without any involvement of someone in the government.

None of these articles support the assertion that this is a government vehicle. It could be a counterfeit with the HPC emblem and livery painted on to fool people and the police. Why else would an oil tanker have an opening on its side?
In addition, there is no proof of involvement of any government official or minister. Even if there is, it only indicates corruption, not an official sanction. The police wouldn't even be allowed to intercept the vehicle if there was such an official sanction.
I'm against the politics that the BJP represents. But we shouldn't be fighting them with misinformation. It will get easily debunked. And it will just convince the public that the BJP opponents are engaging in a misinformation campaign.
