“I had transformed the car to use it for booking during the wedding seasons so that our family can earn some extra money,” Ishwar said.

“The police issued a challan of ₹ 2,000 and asked to remove the back portion of the car. I have invested ₹ 2.5 lakh in this car and worked day and night to make this,” he said.

The man said that his ‘rath‘ (chariot) was intended to be used only during the wedding season and would not ply on the roads otherwise. He also pointed out that similar vehicles were operating in other regions such as Bihar and Pratapgarh.

The police cited safety concerns as the primary reason for confiscating the vehicle. The police said the car was modified without proper authorization under the Motor Vehicles Act.

“Yesterday, a modified car was seized. Due to the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, police have been conducting vehicle checks and this modified car was intercepted by traffic police during one such inspection. Modifications require permission from the RTO department, and the vehicle was seized under Section 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act. We are investigating further,” said Assistant Superintendent of Police Vishal Pandey. (Maxim News)
