Hyderabad Police Step Up Action against Unauthorized Number Plates

Following surge in citizen complaints, the Hyderabad traffic police launched an intensified special enforcement drive against vehicles using fake, tampered or unauthorized registration number plates. 

These violations strictly contravene the Motor Vehicles Act and other relevant legal provisions. As part of this ongoing crackdown, five criminal cases were registered over the past week against individuals using fraudulent registration plates to conceal vehicle



identities, evade traffic enforcement and violate regulations.

Multiple vehicles were identified and seized during the operation. The criminal cases were registered at Jubilee Hills, Malakpet, Begum Bazaar, Abids and Kacheguda police stations. Hyderabad Traffic Joint Commissioner of Police, D. Joel Davis said only government-approved high-security registration plates (HSRP) are legally permitted. Any custom alterations, missing digits, or temporary stickers are strictly illegal.
