Ahmadabad: Own a Porsche but pay your taxes, otherwise you will have to pay up a huge amount of fine if the police catches you.
The car owner, Ranjit Desai took back his impounded car from the Ahmadabad Police after producing the RTO receipt of the Ahmadabad Regional Transport Office, amounting to, Twenty Seven Lakh and Sixty Eight Thousand Only !!!
The vehicle did not have number plates, it was also found that the car owner did not have any valid documents for his vehicle.
The police sub-inspector M B Virja who spotted the car said, ” We had detained the car and issued an RTO memo under the Motor Vehicles Act.
“This means that he has to deposit the penalty with the RTO and come to us with a receipt to get back the vehicle.” he added.
