Woman Arrested for Fake Diplomatic Plates in Delhi
A woman was caught in Delhi driving a car with fake number plates that looked like they belonged to a foreign embassy.
She was seen often near important buildings and embassies, which worried the police because it was close to Republic Day.
The police found out she wasn't really working for the embassy and had made fake plates to trick people.
She said she used to work for an embassy and a university, but the police think she was lying to get special access.
They took her car and some other things she had.
The police are still checking to see if she did anything else wrong.
A 45-year-old woman was arrested in Delhi for using fake diplomatic number plates on her car.
She was frequently seen in high-security areas and near embassies, raising security concerns ahead of Republic Day.
The police found three forged embassy number plates in her car and seized the vehicle along with other items.
She claimed to be a representative of a foreign embassy and a consultant for a university but could not produce valid documents.
The incident is considered serious due to its proximity to Republic Day and the potential national security implications.
