According to reports, the owner of a Porsche 911 sports car of worth Rs two crores has paid a fine of Rs 27.68 lakh. What were the charges against the car? Well, in November when the car was slapped with a challan of Rs 9.08 lakh because there was no nameplate. The owner, Ranjit Desai, could not produce the required documents.

His car was detained for violating traffic rules. Police then said that they will be releasing the car only after the owner shows the reciept of payment of all the pending dues, taxes and the penalty on the car.
