The Vile Parle police arrested a 40-year-old man involved in an RTO permit scam racket. Police said the accused was fabricating fake documents, altering the name and address on the light bill and bank passbook, and using them to manipulate Aadhaar cards to obtain auto-rickshaw permits. Cops suspect that some RTO officials are colluding with the accused. Police seized around 61 Aadhaar cards in which the accused allegedly altered the names and addresses.
mid-day reported a story of a victim, Ramesh Shrikari Sahu, 43, whose auto-rickshaw was seized by the Andheri RTO three years ago due to a goof-up by unknown RTO officials. Sahu’s documents were also duplicated, and a duplicate permit was issued from the Andheri RTO using the same modus operandi.
