Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Traffic Police have registered five cases against motorists allegedly using fake or tampered number plates and seized several vehicles during a special enforcement drive conducted over the past week.
The cases were registered in Toli Chowk, Bahadurpura, Banjara Hills, Chilakalguda and Atmakur in Wanaparthy district between November 5 and 12.
Police found multiple registration numbers being used on two-wheelers, allegedly to conceal vehicle identities and evade traffic enforcement.
Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) D Joel Davis warned that using fake or altered number plates would result in a criminal case and vehicle seizure.
He stressed that only government-approved High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) are permitted and warned against altering digits or using unauthorised stickers.
Traffic officials said the special enforcement drive will continue across the city.
