Lahore Starts Registering FIRs for 3 More Traffic Violations

Lahore traffic authorities have commenced registering criminal complaints for three additional traffic offenses, superseding monetary penalties. This new enforcement initiative was mandated by Lahore's Chief Traffic Officer, Syed Abdul Raheem Sherazi. Motorists found guilty of using unauthorized green number plates, blue lights, or police flashers on private vehicles will now face criminal charges instead of fines.

DSP Muhammad Ashfaq is leading the crackdown in Defence Phase V and other key areas. Police have been warned about altering number plates, concealing vehicle identities, reckless driving, dangerous zigzag maneuvers, and drifting. The operation intensified following the apprehension of a private car with unauthorized green plates and police flashing lights in Defence Phase V. The driver falsely claimed to be an assistant director's brother and attempted to leverage connections to sway the officers.

Upon apprehension, the driver and vehicle were taken to the police station, where a case was filed under provisions related to deceiving law enforcement agencies.
