A major crackdown by the police has led to the capture of a crime syndicate engaged in traffic fraud and extortion, with three individuals arrested, including the suspected mastermind, for selling fake exemptions to commercial vehicles bypassing no-entry zones.

The main accused, Rinku Rana, operated a well-organized network, enabling illegal movement during restricted vehicle hours by providing fake 'marka' stickers priced between Rs 2,000 and Rs 5,000 monthly. This operation falsely authorized vehicles to evade traffic regulations.

Police seized Rs 31 lakh cash, significant property documents, over 500 counterfeit stickers, and six mobile phones during raids. Investigation revealed the use of social media to coordinate illegal transport activities. Organised crime charges have been filed as further investigations are ongoing to apprehend all involved.
