KARACHI: Police intercepted three Land Cruisers of the US consulate
at Toll Plaza on Main Super Highway in Karachi for not using proper
number plates allotted to them by the federal government.
According
to the police, the three vehicles carrying staff members of the US
consulate were on their way to Jamshoro at around 7am on Sunday when
they were intercepted. The vehicles were carrying fake number plates
reading B-F 1493, B-F 1524 and B-F 1802.
DSP Nasir Lodhi said
that the police were conducting their routine check at the Gadap Toll
Plaza when these vehicles were stopped.
Subsequently, it was discovered that these vehicles belonged to the US Consulate in Karachi.
Police
questioned the driver why the red coloured-CC number plates which are
allotted to the consulate cars were not placed on the bumpers.
However,
the police let them continue their journey to Jamshoro after the
security supervisor of US Consulate Abdul Sami presented the complete
documents of the staff that was traveling in the vehicles. He also
assured them that the incident will not be repeated. Online
