Pune police's reply to a picture of two men riding a scooter with a number plate which has a sticker on it made Twitterati laugh.
A Twitter user named Pankaj posted a picture showing the registration plate of a White Honda scooter which bore a crown sticker. According to the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act 1988 and Central Motor Vehicle Act 1989, nothing except the registration number of a vehicle should be displayed on number plates. Those who violate the rule are liable to be punished.
Pune police mocked the vehicle's choice and said, "His highness will, unfortunately, have to oblige us with a Challan soon!"
