Hubballi RTO (Dharwad East) officials seized 25 two-wheelers on Wednesday for being illegally used as rental or commercial vehicles. Cases were registered and fines collected against owners and drivers. Registration certificates of some vehicles were suspended for one month, the Deccan Herald reports. The operation targeted private vehicles ferrying passengers or offering rental services through mobile apps and online platforms. “Vehicle owners must use their vehicles only for the purpose specified in the registration certificate,” said Regional Transport Officer Srikanth Badiger. He warned that enforcement drives will continue against violators.
