LAHORE: Traffic police have uncovered a case where over 400 vehicles were registered under a single citizen's name. The discovery was made when officials stopped a motorcyclist for verification of ownership documents.
The inspection led to the revelation that Baz Muhammad was listed as the registered owner of 421 motorcycles, rickshaws, and other vehicles. The official system flagged the unusually high number of registrations linked to the same individual, prompting scrutiny by traffic authorities.
The verification also revealed that over Rs2.088 million in e-challans were pending against the registered vehicles. Personnel impounded the motorbike and shifted it to Muslim Town police station for further investigation.
Action Against Defaulters
Lahore Chief Traffic Officer Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi ordered intensified action against e-challan defaulters and suspicious or potentially fake vehicle registrations across the city. Traffic officials added that an investigation was under way to determine whether the registrations were linked to fraudulent activities.
Next Steps
Authorities are now probing how such a large number of vehicles came to be registered under one name, and whether any illegal activities were involved. The case highlights ongoing efforts to crack down on traffic violations and registration irregularities in Lahore.
