Police said two other people, residents of Ravi Nagar and Lav Kush Yadav of Pratapgarh, were also booked under similar sections and circumstances.

The traffic police also removed around 180 stalled vehicles on the Delhi-Gurugram (NH 48) expressway in April to clear the roadway and obstructions on the high-speed corridor.

The vehicles were identified by enforcement officials, and recovery vans were roped in to remove the stalled vehicles lying along NH 48 for weeks due to breakdowns, crashes, and running out of fuel, the officer said.
