The spokesperson further informed that the owners had swapped the original chassis number of vehicles with different ones and that there are possibly still multiple cars of such nature in the region that are yet to be confiscated.

Various reports state that numerous smuggling channels that allow a safe gateway for the illegal trade of luxury vehicles are still active and are causing billions of rupees worth of loss, gradually bleeding the economy dry.
