Rolls-Royce Cars Fined: Bollywood & 'KGF' Twist
Two Rolls-Royce cars, previously owned by Bollywood stars but now used by a local businessman named Yusuf Sharif, were fined for not paying road taxes.
The cars, a Phantom and a Ghost, were regularly used in Bengaluru.
The owner, also known as 'KGF Babu', claims he bought the cars from Bollywood actors, but hasn't officially changed the ownership documents.
The fines were imposed because the cars were used in Karnataka for longer than permitted without paying local road taxes.
'KGF Babu' contested the local authorities' constituency in the 2021 Karnataka Legislative Council polls.
The owner had declared considerable assets.
