A city magistrate court has convicted a 21-year-old resident of Mazgaon for affixing ‘Police’ and ‘Vibhan Bhavan’ stickers on his Omni car, despite not being a public servant. Initially denying the offense, the individual later changed his plea to guilty.

Conviction under Section 171 of the Indian Penal Code

The court found the accused guilty under Section 171 of the Indian Penal Code, which pertains to wearing garb or carrying tokens used by public servants with fraudulent intent. While the offense carries a maximum punishment of three months imprisonment and a fine, the judge took into consideration that the accused had no criminal history and was a first-time offender. As a result, the court sentenced him to imprisonment till the rising of the court.

Alert Citizen’s Report Leads to Police Action

The incident came to light when an alert citizen reported Ubed Mistry’s Omni car to the Marine Drive Police Station. The vehicle was found parked near Hotel Marine Plaza, displaying a ‘Vidhan Bhavan’ sticker on the four-wheeler and an English ‘Police’ sticker on the dashboard against a yellow background. The informant presented this evidence before the court.

Prosecution Seeks Strict Punishment

The prosecution sought stringent punishment for the accused, emphasizing the gravity of the offense. Although an independent witness was not examined due to the accused pleading guilty, the court determined that the prosecution had successfully proven the offense.

Sentencing Based on Lack of Criminal Antecedents

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate KS Zanwar of the Esplanade court ruled that the accused should be punished for his actions. However, considering his clean record and absence of prior criminal involvement, the court opted for a sentence of simple imprisonment till the rising of the court.

Navi Mumbai: The Panvel City Traffic Police launched a crackdown against motorists on Thursday for not following traffic rules. In a special drive, a total of 1513 motorists were penalised under the Panvel traffic unit jurisdiction. The drive was carried out under the guidance of Tirupati Kakade, Deputy Commissioner of Police (traffic) by Senior Police Inspector Sanjay Nale of Panvel City Traffic Branch.

Motorsists penalised over multipole offences

Motorists were fined for not wearing seatbelts, using black glasses in the car, entering a no-entry zone and riding motorbikes without helmets.

The Panvel City traffic unit informed that a similar drive will be carried out in days to come and more motorists will be fined for violating the traffic rules.

“Wearing a helmet for people riding two-wheelers is mandatory. From time to time, public awareness is created,” said an official from the Panvel Traffic unit. He added that the majority of two-wheelers riders wear helmets.

Traffic official stresses on benefits of wearing helmet

However, the drive is concentrated on those who are intentionally not wearing helmets. “Wearing a helmet saves the motorbike rider. It often saves lives in accidents because the head is protected and does not get hit,” said the official.

In addition, using black glass, driving without a seatbelt, triple seats in two-wheelers, and driving in no-entry were fined during the drive. Sanjay Nale, senior police inspector from the Panvel City Traffic branch said that apart from the penalty, they also created awareness among motorists to prevent accidents.
