Mumbai Traffic Police Reject Majority of E-Challan Grievances
Imagine the traffic police gives you a ticket (e-challan) if you break a rule.
Some people complain about these tickets.
In Mumbai, from January 2024 to February 2025, many people complained about their tickets.
The police checked these complaints.
Sadly, they rejected about 60% of the complaints.
This means that most people who complained still had to pay the fine.
The police look at pictures to decide if the ticket was right.
They send unclear cases to traffic divisions to verify.
