Hyderabad Police Crack Down on Fake Number Plates
The Hyderabad Traffic Police are doing a special operation to stop people from using fake or changed number plates on their vehicles.
This is against the law, and the police are taking strict action.
They have already caught several people and seized their vehicles.
The police are asking everyone to use only the official number plates and follow the rules to keep the roads safe.
If you don't follow the rules, you could get in big trouble, like going to court and losing your vehicle.
Hyderabad Traffic Police launched a special drive against fake, tampered, or unauthorized number plates.
Half a dozen criminal cases were registered in the past week for using fraudulent registration plates.
Vehicles were seized in areas like Jubilee Hills, Malakpet, Begum Bazaar, Abids, and Kacheguda.
Only government-approved High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) are legally permitted.
Citizens are warned of severe legal consequences, including criminal prosecution and vehicle seizure.
