Traffic Police book five cases over fake, tampered number plates in Hyderabad

The Hyderabad Traffic Police have registered five cases against motorists allegedly using fake or tampered number plates and seized several vehicles during a special enforcement drive conducted over the past week.

The cases were registered in Toli Chowk, Bahadurpura, Banjara Hills, Chilakalguda and Atmakur in Wanaparthy district between November 5 and 12.

Police found multiple registration numbers being



used on two-wheelers, allegedly to conceal vehicle identities and evade traffic enforcement.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) D Joel Davis warned that using fake or altered number plates would result in a criminal case and vehicle seizure.

He stressed that only government-approved High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) are permitted and warned against altering digits or using unauthorised stickers.
