Rajgad police recover false tickets, other materials worth Rs 71,000 from Khed-Shivapur plaza after alert commuter files plaint
In order to stop the practice of exerting influence to avoid paying toll charges and to reduce congestion and waiting time, the authorities had enforced a FASTag system on highways under the
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). But it has come to light that staffers associated with the body have been indulging in malpractices.
Rajgad police on Thursday arrested nine employees deployed at the Khed-Shivapur toll plaza at Pune-Satara highway for allegedly being involved in issuing fake toll receipts to motorists. Police have received 30 fake toll receipts along with printers, mobile phones, paper rolls, etc., costing Rs 71,000 from the accused.
