Hyderabad
Hyderabad Traffic Police have stopped an activa in Nampally as a part of their routine checks. The old Honda Activa bearing the registration number AP09AU1727 has 117 pending challans on it. Seventy-five of these challans are being shown on the Challans website. The remaining challans are even before the challans website is introduced in 2014.
The oldest Challan on the activa available on the website dates back to December 2014. Legal notices were issued to three challans with a warning that a chargesheet will be filled in the case of non-payment. But still the owner, Mohd Fareed Khan did not care to pay.
Interestingly, the resale value of the bike will be less than 20,000 but the pending challans are worth more than 30,000 Rupees. Most of these challans are for not wearing helmets, wrong side driving, dangerous driving, wrong parking, etc. The man was even fined for not wearing masks and violating rules during the Lockdown.
