A scam of bogus registration of around 83 types of vehicles at Nandurbar came to the fore recently. The registration numbers of these vehicles are from the category of choice-number. The BS-4 type vehicles were shown as old vehicles and were registered with RTO at Nandurbar and later were sold.

A case has been registered against 83 various vehicle owners and agents from Aurangabad and Nandurbar. The numbers of these vehicles are registered with MH-39 but the Nandurbar RTO has not issued these numbers. All these vehicles are being searched and these vehicles have been blacklisted.
