After coming back from a successful trip to England, Indian cricketer Akash Deep bought his “dream” car, purchasing a luxury SUV and posing with his sisters in a heartfelt post last week. However, the fast-bowler’s dream possession has left him in an unexpected tangle, as a report alleged he had been sent a notice by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Lucknow.
According to a report by the Times of India, the Lucknow RTO issued a notice to Akash Deep on Monday, August 11, with a directive ceasing the use of his newly purchased SUV on public roads due to incomplete registration formalities and missing the necessary high-security registration plate (HSRP) and also the third registration mark (TRM). The notice also directed India’s rising young pacer to comply with all vehicle documentation requirements and appear before the concerned authorities within 72 hours.
What Is The Notice?
“The RTO discovered that the temporary registration and registration certificate process remained incomplete on the Vahan portal,” the report said about the vehicle that was purchased by Akash Deep on August 7, before the insurance was obtained on August 8. He also received a fancy registration number (UP32 QW 0041) for the same on August 9.
The vehicle violated sections 39 and 41(6) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, missing the mandatory HSRP and TRM installations. “The notice warns that driving the vehicle in its current state constitutes an offence under Section 192 of the MVA and empowers authorities to seize or detain the vehicle under Section 207,” the authorities told the Bengal seamer.
What’s Next For Akash Deep?
Akash Deep will now have to appear in person or send an authorised representative to visit the RTO office within the specified timeframe. The cricketer must submit all the necessary documents, including respective proofs of registration, insurance, and tax payment records.
Lucknow RTO also sent a show-cause notice to the Chinhat-based automobile dealership, which delivered Akash Deep’s SUV without the required HSRP and TRM. The authorities have suspended the car dealer, declaring, “Legal action under Sections 192 and 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act will be initiated against the defaulting dealer.” The controversy has emerged less than two weeks after Akash Deep’s return from England after taking 13 wickets, including a match-winning 6/99 in Edgbaston, during India’s impressive 2-2 series draw.
