Ahead of Delhi elections, Delhi Police late on Wednesday registered a case after a vehicle labelled “Punjab government” was found near Punjab Bhavan on Copernicus Marg, with cash, liquor and Aam Aadmi Party pamphlets in it, an official said.
“Upon searching, we discovered cash, multiple liquor bottles, and Aam Aadmi Party pamphlets inside the vehicle,” the Delhi Police said in a statement.
Legal proceedings have been initiated in connection with this regard while a case is being registered at the Tilak Marg police station accordingly.
Notably, the Flying Squad attends to all Model Code of Conduct violations and all complaints of threat, intimidation, movement of anti-social elements, liquor, arms and ammunition, and large amounts of money to bribe voters.
The statement added that the number of the vehicle was originally linked to a a ‘Ford Eco Sport’ model of 2018 but the one seized by the Delhi Police was ‘Hyundai Creta’.
Official records say the vehicle was registered in the name of a man posted in the Army Dental College in Pathankot three years back, and that he was a permanent resident of Khadki in Maharashtra. “This confirms that the vehicle number plate is forged and fake,” it said.
“The High Security Registration Plate is mandatory for all vehicles but the registration plate of the seized vehicle is an ordinary one, without the features of HSRP,” it said.
