Gurugram traffic police have impounded a motorcycle found to have 67 unpaid traffic violation notices, with outstanding fines totaling ₹4.06 lakh. The vehicle was seized on Monday during a routine checking drive conducted by a police team stationed at the Damdama traffic signal.
According to officials, the inspection revealed that the motorcycle had accumulated a significant number of pending challans for various traffic offences. A senior traffic officer noted that the rider was unable to produce any of the vehicle’s required documents when requested by the authorities at the scene. The team, led by zonal officer ASI Jaiveer, impounded the bike following the discovery of the extensive violation history.
The traffic department reported that the majority of these pending challans were issued for riding without a helmet, driving without valid insurance, and failing to maintain a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. Following the incident, the department issued an advisory urging all two-wheeler riders to wear helmets and ensure they carry their mandatory vehicle documents at all times.
