Hyderabad: The City Traffic Police and Mehdipatnam Police arrested a 30-year-old man for allegedly using a fake vehicle registration number plate to evade traffic challans.

The accused was identified as Susender Chidambaram from Sai Nagar.

Chidambaram was caught during an enforcement check. He had a registration number TS09FF7061 pasted to his Honda Activa scooter. The vehicle was purchased in 2017 but was never registered with the concerned Regional Transport Office (RTO).
