Hyderabad police fact-check traffic challan discount claims

A message claiming discounts on pending traffic challans has been circulating on social media prompting the Hyderabad police on Tuesday, December 24 to clarify that it is fake.

The message falsely advertised an 80 percent discount for two-wheelers (eg Rs 700 reduced to Rs 140) and a 60 percent discount for



private cars (eg Rs 2,000 reduced to Rs 800) with the alleged offer valid from December 26 to January 10.

Hyderabad police clarified on X that the message about traffic challan discounts in Hyderabad is fake and urged citizens not to believe or spread such misinformation without verification.
