Virender Vij, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Gurugram, tells us, “The convoy had three cars including a Thar, a Scorpio and a Mercedes. We have sent a challan of ₹15,500 to the owner of Thar, since the RC of the vehicle since it didn’t have the Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate either. The other two cars had temporary numbers and we are still in search of their owners, to challan their owner.”
When informed that Badshah has stated that he was in a white Toyota Vellfire on the day of the incident, Vij confirmed that Police has proof of the singer sitting in one of the cars that were part of convoy. “He was in one of the vehicles,” Vij adds.
