Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Traffic Police, along with Tolichowki police, nabbed a man for allegedly using a fake registration number plate on his two-wheeler to evade penalties and mislead authorities.
The suspect, Mohd Moinuddin, a driver and resident of Brundavan Colony in Tolichowki, was found to have affixed a fake number plate (TS11EU5327) to his scooter instead of its original registration (TS12ER2466).
