The Amboli police registered an FIR against unknown Andheri RTO officers and agents involved in creating a duplicate permit and issuing an auto-rickshaw license. The Andheri RTO, instead of taking action against the officers and agents involved, had seized the auto-rickshaw of 43-year-old Ramesh Shrikari Sahu in 2021 as its permit had been duplicated and sold to someone else. Sahu has alleged that someone was fraudulently using his permit number for another vehicle between March 1, 2013, and March 15, 2021. The FIR was registered by the Amboli police after he went on a hunger strike at the Andheri RTO office.
Sahu resides at Yogiraj Ashram Chawl on CST Road in Kalina, Santacruz East. He has been driving an auto-rickshaw since 2004 but obtained a permit in 2018. At the time, he purchased an auto by taking a loan of Rs 2 lakh. “Every two years, I have to have to get RTO clearance for the vehicle and in October 2020, while renewing the permit, I discovered that my auto-rickshaw number had been blacklisted by the RTO,” Sahu said.
