Two Toyota Fortuners Booked for Displaying Fake MLA Logos in Pimpri-ChinchwadPreviousNext

In Pimpri-Chinchwad, two separate cases involved black Toyota Fortuners displaying fake Maharashtra Legislative Assembly member logos to gain VIP privileges. Both vehicles had tinted windows and were intercepted during traffic enforcement drives on September 10 and 12. The drivers and passengers denied any MLA connections. Police registered cases under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Motor Vehicles Act, and related rules. Investigations continue into the misuse of political stickers and tinted glass violations.
