Saudi consulate employee challaned for using car without number plate

KARACHI: A Saudi consulate employee was challaned by a traffic warden on Saturday  for using  a car without any  number plate and untied seat belt.

Despite several calls from Consulate's high-hands, the traffic policeman refused to spare the Saudi consulate employee  without a challan.

According to traffic police source, the vehicle was stopped during a regular spot-check where the traffic policeman deployed at a red-zone area in Karachi noticed  a luxury car without any number plates on it.

On inquiry, the vehicle was found to be registered under CC-5202 after the person behind the wheel took out the number plate from inside the car,   traffic section officer Muhammad Nawaz Siyal said.

However, the traffic police fined the person, identified as Ghulam Murtaza, with Rs520 challan on grounds of violating the rule as well as not wearing the seat belt.

A similar challan was registered  against  a  Dubai consulate  vehicle  for  being used  in the metropolis without any number plate.
