Hyderabad: Sangareddy traffic police booked a man for using a fake number plate on his scooter in an attempt to escape traffic fines and legal action.
According to Sangareddy district SP Paritosh Pankaj, the case surfaced after traffic police conducted inspections at Pothireddypally crossroads on May 22. During the checks, police issued an e-challan to a scooter rider for travelling without a helmet.
Later, a Hyderabad resident filed a complaint stating that the challan had been wrongly issued against his vehicle number. Acting on the complaint, Sangareddy traffic police initiated an inquiry.
During subsequent vehicle inspections near the old bus stand, police identified another scooter bearing the same registration number. Investigation revealed that the rider installed a fake number plate to avoid traffic penalties and legal scrutiny.
The accused was identified as Poojari Arun Kumar Goud, a resident of Doulatabad village in Hatnoora mandal of Sangareddy district.
The SP warned that special surveillance is being maintained on vehicles using fake or obscured number plates and said strict legal action would be taken against offenders involved in such illegal activities.
