HYDERABAD:The Hyderabad police have claimed that they have started action against the vehicles using the police lights,
routers, tinted windows and fancy number plates.
The police spokesman informed here on Saturday that as per directions
of the IGP Sindh Ghulam Nabi Memon the Hussainabad police impounded a
car using green number plate and arrested its driver besides lodging
an FIR.
The SHO said the police stopped a car using a green number plate
though it contained a private vehicle registration number.
Upon inquiry the driver Sikandar Gul Umrani claimed that he was a
government servant.
However, the police said he could not produce any employment identity
card or any authority letter to use the green coloured plate which was
given only to the vehicles owned by the Sindh government.
The spokesman told that the police later registered an FIR on the
state’s complaint nominating Umrani under sections 170, 171 and 420 of
Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) in crime number 167/2022.
The IGP last month had directed the province’s police to take action
against the vehicles using the police lights, routers, tinted windows
and fancy number plates and to register FIRs against their owners.
However, despite the directions of the IGP the Hyderabad police have
so far booked only one person for the said offence.
