As per reports, most of the challans were issued from 2014 for not wearing a helmet or for wrong parking. Some challans were also issued during the COVID-19 pandemic for not wearing a face mask in public while riding his vehicle and riding on the wrong side.

According to the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act, the police can impound vehicles having over 10 unpaid challans. Notably, the Hyderabad police has increased checking across the city to catch violators of traffic rules. The police are also ensuring that people are wearing masks while going out.

Earlier this year,  a two-wheeler with as many as 130 pending challans with Rs 35,950 fine amount against it since 2017 for various traffic violations committed by its riders was detained by the Hyderabad traffic police. The scooter was caught at the Jubilee Hills check-post during a special drive carried out by traffic cops on June 27 night after its rider was found driving the vehicle without helmet.
