The Story in Brief
Delhi Police have recovered two stolen Toyota Fortuner SUVs in west Delhi that were carrying the same registration and chassis numbers. The discovery was made during a special pre-Independence Day checking drive focused on suspicious and stolen vehicles, PTI reported.
Police traced the SUVs after receiving information that vehicles with identical registration numbers were being used at different locations across Delhi-NCR. One of the recovered SUVs is linked to a cheating case registered at Gandhi Nagar police station, in which a 23-year-old man named Aryan Mavi has been identified as an accused. Police have not linked the vehicles to any terror-related activity.
The Indian Opinion
The discovery of cloned SUVs with stolen identities will fuel alarmist chatter about security lapses ahead of Independence Day. But the real story is mundane and telling: vehicle duplication is a thriving grey market enabled by lax registration enforcement and greedy second-hand dealers. Delhi Police found these Fortuners through routine checks, not intelligence intercepts. The question every car buyer in NCR should ask is whether their own vehicle's papers would survive the same scrutiny.
