Can police seize or detain my vehicle for any motor vehicle rules violation?
Yes, any police officer or other officer authorized by the State Government may, if he has reasons to believe that a motor vehicle is being used/driven without a proper licence, certificate of registration or permit, seize and detain the vehicle. So, don’t take any chances and always carry with you the required documents while driving.
