Jammu, May 23: In a major escalation in the Channi Bypass biker case, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) Jammu has suspended the registration of the motorcycle allegedly used by biker Haq Nawaz and blacklisted the vehicle and suspended Registration Certificate (RC), RTO confirmed on saturday.
The action comes a day after Jammu Police recovered and seized the motorcycle linked to the viral reckless driving incident on National Highway-44. The recovery operation was carried out by the Channi Police team led by SHO Mushtaj Ahmed along with Investigating Officer S.I. Tejender following sustained investigation efforts.
Officials said the motorcycle was allegedly being operated without a number plate on the National Highway, prompting serious concerns over traffic violations and public safety.
RTO Jammu has now initiated separate proceedings under provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act. According to officials, the vehicle blacklisted and suspended Registration Certificate (RC), pending further inquiry into alleged violations.
Authorities are also examining whether the accused biker possessed a valid driving licence and how the motorcycle was being operated openly on NH-44 despite alleged breaches of traffic regulations.
Officials stated that further legal action may also be initiated against the registered owner of the motorcycle for alleged misuse of the vehicle and operating it without proper registration identification on a busy National Highway.
Notably, videos linked to the viral incident had surfaced online earlier, allegedly showing reckless riding and dangerous conduct on the highway, triggering widespread outrage and demands for strict action.
Meanwhile, agencies continue parallel investigations into the alleged “V3 Gang” angle and related social media activities connected to the case.
