The numberplate of his Honda City read ‘BOSS’ till somebody clicked a picture and uploaded it on the Facebook page of Delhi Traffic Police. The traffic police have slapped a challan on the owner of the vehicle, confiscated his driving licence, and served him a notice to get the number written properly within 72 hours.
Delhi Traffic Police is cracking the whip on vehicles with fancy numberplates. A number of challans have been issued on the basis of the photographs uploaded by people on the traffic police’s Facebook page.
Satyender Garg, joint commissioner, traffic, said, “A person had uploaded a picture of this car numberplate on our Facebook page. We found it was registered in the name of one Pradeep Rajpal from Malviya Nagar. His son, Raghav Rajpal, used the car and had got the registration number of the car designed in such a way that the last digits ‘8055’ read as BOSS. We issued him a challan and asked him to get it changed immediately.”
