A petrol langar will be organised in Chandigarh at 5 pm today (18 Aug), with an Amritsar-based businessman announcing free fuel for residents.
Rakesh Trehan, popularly known as ‘Raja Di King’, said in a video that free petrol will be distributed at petrol pumps in Sector 10 and Sector 7.
Coupons to be issued based on vehicle type
Trehan said, “People without vehicles should not come to the event. Owners of two-wheelers and three-wheelers will receive coupons worth ₹500, while car owners will be given coupons worth ₹1,000.
Petrol pumps have made special arrangements for the distribution of fuel during the event.
Claims to fund service through investment profits
Trehan said he invests in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the stock market and uses part of the profits from these investments for public service.
He claimed to have been investing in cryptocurrency and the stock market since 2010 and said his earnings are legal and can be scrutinised by the government if required.
Plans iPhone langar next
Trehan said, “My next initiative after the petrol langar would be an iPhone langar.” Describing himself as a devotee of Mahamai he said, “I organise different types of langars for people from time to time with the blessings of the deity.”

Trehan has organised several unusual langars before
Rakesh Trehan has previously organised various types of langars in Chandigarh. Recently, he held a cash-and-food langar outside the Sanatan Dharm Temple, also known as Shiv Temple, in Sector 8.
People attending the event were given ₹500 cash along with McDonald’s burgers and cold drinks. A large crowd gathered to collect the money and food, prompting the organisers to deploy bouncers for crowd management.
A coupon system was also introduced to prevent people from repeatedly joining the queue. Several videos from the event later went viral on social media. Trehan claims he has been organising such langars since 2019.
He said, “I have distributed gold coins and cash ranging from ₹500 to ₹1,500 at various religious places and events. He has also claimed to have hosted meals for needy and poor people at five-star hotels around 25 times.”
Who is businessman Rakesh Trehan?
Rakesh Trehan is popularly known on social media as ‘Raja Di King’ and is originally from Amritsar. His father, who was a cloth merchant, has since died. Trehan claims he inherited half of his father’s property.
He is the owner of JMD Group, which he says operates in digital currency investments and online financial trading. His business interests are also reportedly linked to real estate and property dealing.
Trehan is often seen travelling in a Mercedes and is accompanied by bouncers for security.
FIR registered over alleged religious remarks
In September 2025, Amritsar Police registered an FIR against Trehan for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.
He was accused of making derogatory remarks about Hindu deities and Sikh gurus in some videos. Police registered a case under non-bailable sections in connection with the allegations.
