Ranchi Traffic Police Launch Special Drive Against Fake Registration
The Ranchi Traffic Police conducted a significant special drive on Saturday targeting vehicles operating with incorrect registration numbers across the city. The enforcement action led to the seizure of two motorcycles from prominent locations in the city.
Areas Targeted and Vehicles Seized
Police teams successfully confiscated two bikes from Lalpur Chowk and Booty More areas during the operation. The drive was comprehensive, covering all traffic police stations in Ranchi following specific intelligence about registration number tampering and misuse of other vehicles' registration details.
According to police statements, the motorcycle seized from Lalpur Chowk had been stolen earlier from the Bariatu police station area. This revelation highlighted the connection between registration number violations and more serious crimes like vehicle theft.
Drivers Escape After Promising Documentation
In both cases, the bike riders managed to escape from the scene after assuring police officials that they would return with the necessary vehicle papers. Police noted that neither rider produced valid documentation during the checking process, raising further suspicions about the legitimacy of their vehicle ownership.
The special drive was initiated based on specific tips regarding registration number tampering that had been received by the traffic police department. This proactive approach demonstrates the police department's commitment to addressing this particular type of traffic violation that often connects to broader criminal activities.
Public Appeal for Proper Number Plates
Following the enforcement action, Ranchi Traffic Police issued an important appeal to all vehicle owners. They emphasized that people should use their vehicle's actual registration number on number plates as required by law. Proper display of authentic registration numbers helps maintain traffic discipline and assists law enforcement in identifying vehicles involved in criminal activities.
The police department has indicated that such special drives will continue across the city to check similar violations and maintain road safety standards. Vehicle owners have been advised to ensure all their documents are in order and that their number plates display correct registration information to avoid legal complications.
