Mumbai Police has seized 41 out of the 44 high-end luxury cars, which were scheduled to participate in a rally on January 26.
They apprehended these cars at Jio World Drive Mall parking in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
The rally was supposed to flag off at 6 am from Jio World Drive, BKC, and at least 100 cars were expected to take part in it.
The gathering, organised by an event and social media company, didn’t have the necessary clearance from the Mumbai police despite the notification issued the prohibitory order issued starting from January 23 and ending on February 6.
The BKC police station has confiscated prominent brands like BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, Mercedes, McLaren, Jaguar and others. The action was taken due to the violation of the order imposed by the Mumbai police.
Police said they have booked the owner of these luxury cars for not taking any permission to take a rally in the group. Now, the vehicle owners have to get permission after paying fines from the court to get their vehicle back.
Reportedly, the car owners are sons of prominent businessmen in the city’s diamond market, real estate and share market. They reside in areas such as Napean Sea Road, Bandra, Khar and Andheri.
It is pertinent to note that these cars have been taking part in the car rally for the last 10 years at different locations during Independence Day and Republic Day.
The 44 car owners have been booked under the Indian Penal Code section 188 (deliberate disobedience of an order that is duly promulgated by a public servant empowered by law to do so) and under the Maharashtra Police Act 1951.
