Hyderabad CP Sajjanar warns against fake traffic challan fraud

City Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar has warned citizens about a sharp increase in fake traffic challan scams, despite repeated public alerts.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, the commissioner said fraudsters were targeting motorists by sending phishing links through SMS, claiming pending traffic



violations.

According to police, these links redirect users to fake websites that closely resemble official government portals. Unsuspecting victims, believing the sites to be genuine, enter personal and banking details, leading to instant financial losses.

The commissioner urged the public to remain vigilant and follow basic precautions.
