Bengaluru Lamborghini Probe Widens With FIR Over Fake Number Plate

Police say CCTV review will decide who was at the wheel.

Overview

  • Investigators filed a fresh case Thursday under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after finding a forged Karnataka plate on the seized Lamborghini.
  • RTO checks show the car still carries a Delhi registration (DL 1 CT 1515) and the flashy KA-05 NR 0009 was never allotted despite an application in January.
  • Police are interrogating the driver and reviewing CCTV and bystander videos from around 2:30 a.m. on March 21 that officers say appear to show Ricky Rai inside the car.
  • Rai denies driving, and his lawyer says the car skidded and the driver regained control, calling the episode accidental rather than a planned stunt.
  • Officials say fines or even cancellation of the vehicle’s registration could follow once they fix responsibility, since out-of-state cars must be re-registered locally before use.
