The Gujarat police have nabbed a man from Jharkhand for allegedly duping many vehicle owners from Ahmedabad city by sending them a fake e-challan payment link of a website that resembled the government portal.
Sudhanshu Mishra (25) allegedly collected “lakhs of rupees” from several vehicle owners in the city by asking them to pay the fine for their traffic violations on “echallan.parivahan.in”, a fake website he created with his accomplices to dupe unsuspecting people.
As per the release, whenever the CCTV cameras in the city detect a traffic violation, the traffic police capture a photograph of the vehicle and send it to the National Informatics Centre with the necessary details about the vehicle and its owner.
