Bengaluru traffic offenders with over ₹50k fines to get summons

The Bengaluru traffic police are cracking down on serial traffic violators with outstanding fines exceeding ₹50,000, targeting 2,681 vehicles in the city. Failure to comply will result in charges being filed and court summons issued. The police are also addressing the issue of vehicles with substantial fines being transferred to new owners without settling outstanding dues. The Karnataka high court has intervened to streamline the process of auctioning abandoned vehicles seized by the police, mandating a shorter period of up to three months for auctioning, depending on the age of the vehicle.
