A man was arrested in Thane after police traced a stolen scooter through an e-challan issued for a traffic violation. The traffic police issued a fine as the rider was not wearing a helmet, and the original owner, who received the notification, reported the issue to the authorities. Acting swiftly, the traffic police managed to track down and apprehend the suspect within two hours.
According to the police report, the Kasarvadavli unit of Thane traffic police was stationed at Nagla Bunder on the evening of June 15. A team comprising Yogesh Sanap, assistant police inspector, Kasarvadavli traffic unit was at the spot taking action against violators. “The traffic officials issued a fine for a scooter (MH 48 BU 2617) rider being without a helmet on the stretch. The e-challan message was sent to the owner who stays in Dombivli. He had already filed a case with the Manpada police station in Dombivli in 2023 regarding the bike being stolen. He approached the police and informed them about the e-challan being issued. The Manpada police checked the e-challan and found the action was taken by Kasarvadavli traffic unit.
