The silver-coloured Porsche car was seized at Helmet crossroad near Sindhu Bhavan in the city where the traffic police caught the driver for driving without a number plate. An RTO memo was issued under the revised Motor Vehicles Act, the police stated.

“We have come to know that the transport officials calculated all the pending dues, taxes and penalty on the car and slapped a fine of Rs 9.8 lakh. We will release the vehicle only after its owner pays the fine and shows us the receipt,” the traffic police said, adding that the fine was not collected by their department.

The police also noted that they have caught and detained at least 10 such expensive cars over the last few days.
