Uttarakhand: Owner of car with 'Papa' number plate fined, police share picture

The owner of a car has been fined by the Uttarakhand Police over its number plate that read ‘Papa’ instead of the actual registration number of the vehicle.

Police shared before and after pictures of the number plate on Twitter and said that it received the complaint through a tweet.

"Papa kehte hain bada naam karega, gadi ki plate par Papa likhega, Magar ye to koi na jaane, ki aisi plate par hota hai challan (Papa says my son will be famous, he will get 'Papa' written on number plate, but no one knows that such plates get fined)," the state police wrote while sharing the photos.

It added, “After receiving a complaint through a tweet, #UttarakhandPolice called the vehicle owner to the traffic office, got the number plate changed and fined the owner.”

गाड़ी के प्लेट पर पापा लिखेगा
मगर ये तो कोई न जाने
कि ऐसी प्लेट पर होता है चालान

Dont write songs. Instead develop an app where common man can share pics and offense and you can get streamlined data. You dont need Twitter for this.
