The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) impounded a motorcycle on Monday after learning that the owner had not paid overdue fines for 139 e-tickets.
According to a media report, the motorbike was impounded near DHA Phase-5, Lahore, where the traffic warden had stopped its rider after receiving directions from the PSCA.
The motorbike was caught on a surveillance camera in the area and the e-ticket data was traced via an application that has been given to the police force by the PSCA, according to which the owner has an outstanding amount of Rs. 27,800 in overdue fines for 139 e-tickets.
