The Hyderabad Traffic Police, in coordination with Chengomul Police in Vikarabad district, detected and booked a man for allegedly using a fake vehicle registration number plate to evade traffic challans.

Police identified the accused as Md. Khayyum (46), a resident of Manneguda in Pudur mandal of Vikarabad district. During verification, officials found that he had been using fake registration number AP28DK4592 on his Hero Honda Passion Plus motorcycle instead of the original number AP28AZ1087.
