The owner, unhappy with the situation, starts blocking the way of the vehicle and even tries to lie on its bonnet. When he can't find a grip to hold on, he jumps and asks a shared auto driver in front to block the road so the SUV cannot proceed.

The auto driver does not get involved and flees the spot with the passengers. The whole incident is being recorded by the cops sitting inside the Mahindra Thar. The owner then comes back and starts hurling abuses at the officer, before standing on the footrest of the Thar and moving along with the vehicle.

Why Mahindra Thar Was Seized

Driving a vehicle without a valid number plate is an offence in India under Rules 50 and 51 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), read with Sections 39 and 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act.

Without a number plate, it becomes extremely difficult for authorities to identify or keep track of vehicles. Many people who buy new cars and bikes apply for fancy registration numbers and drive on public roads without a number plate while waiting for the registration process to be completed, which is also illegal.
