RTO Issues Notice to Cricketer Akash Deep Over New SUV
In a recent development, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Lucknow issued a notice to cricketer Akash Deep to stop using his new SUV until the registration formalities are completed. According to officials, the TR/RC process was incomplete on the Vahan portal, and mandatory HSRP (High Security Registration Plate) and TRM (Third Party Insurance) were missing, which violates the Motor Vehicles Act provisions.
Akash Deep, a talented cricketer who has represented India in various international tournaments, recently purchased a new SUV from a Chinhat-based dealership. However, the RTO office in Lucknow issued a show-cause notice to the dealership as well, citing non-compliance with the Motor Vehicles Act.
The issue came to light when the RTO office conducted a routine inspection of vehicles on the city’s roads. During the inspection, officials noticed that Akash Deep’s new SUV was being driven without proper registration and necessary documents. The RTO officials seized the vehicle and issued a notice to the cricketer, directing him to stop using the vehicle until the registration formalities are completed.
An RTO official, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that the TR/RC process was incomplete on the Vahan portal, and the mandatory HSRP and TRM were missing. “The vehicle was being driven without proper registration, which is a serious violation of the Motor Vehicles Act,” the official said. “We have issued a notice to the cricketer to stop using the vehicle until the registration formalities are completed.”
The RTO official also issued a show-cause notice to the Chinhat-based dealership, which delivered the SUV to Akash Deep. “The dealership is supposed to ensure that the vehicle is registered and all necessary documents are in place before delivering it to the buyer,” the official said. “In this case, the dealership failed to comply with the regulations, and we have taken necessary action.”
Akash Deep’s team has not commented on the issue, but sources close to the cricketer revealed that he is likely to comply with the RTO’s directives and complete the registration formalities. However, the cricketer has expressed disappointment over the incident, citing that he was not aware of the regulations.
The incident highlights the importance of complying with the Motor Vehicles Act and the need for vehicle owners to ensure that their vehicles are properly registered and equipped with necessary documents. The RTO’s action against Akash Deep and the dealership serves as a reminder to all vehicle owners to be aware of the regulations and to ensure that their vehicles are in compliance with the law.
In conclusion, the RTO’s notice to Akash Deep over his new SUV is a timely reminder to all vehicle owners to ensure that their vehicles are properly registered and equipped with necessary documents. The incident also highlights the importance of complying with the Motor Vehicles Act and the need for vehicle owners to be aware of the regulations.
