KARACHI – A Karachi traffic police official has hatched a bizarre way to dodge the city’s e-challan system.
A video showing the official riding a motorcycle with an incomplete number plate has gone viral on social media.
The officer reportedly removed the numbers from his motorcycle’s plate to avoid detection by the city’s e-challan system.
The footage was recorded by a citizen near the Expo Center, highlighting the officer’s attempt to bypass traffic regulations.
