Samajwadi Party leader, on his SUV, says he is 'BOSS'

AGRA: Literally considering himself as "boss", a Samajwadi party local leader, who is also consultant with the state transport department, was found travelling in high-end SUV with "BOSS" written on number plate.
Official consultant of Uttar Pradesh transport department, Parvender Yadav alias Lalla bhai, who commute in state government-owned white Toyota Fortuner SUV (registration number: UP 32 CX 8055), carries a number plate in which the digits written in a fancy font resemble the English word "BOSS".
When asked for the reason behind carrying a fancy font which resembles "BOSS", Yadav said, “It’s not 'BOSS' but vehicle registration number 8055, though will now remove it to avoid confusion.”
According to SP traffic Agra, Rajesh Kumar Singh, “Such fancy registration number on cars creates confusion in the mind of cops, especially if the vehicle is involved in any criminal case. The owner of the car can be penalized.”

He added, “If caught with fancy number plates, the offenders are challenged for Rs 100 and Rs 300 if he/she is caught second time with the fancy font.”
A close scrutiny by TOI about minister car’s, revealed that the number actually belongs to a two wheeler rider in Lucknow.
As per "Vahan" registration database, the number UP 32 CX 8055 is given to a Yamaha FZ-16 motorcycle, which is owned by one Mohammed Hasarat Lari of Lucknow.
Speaking to TOI on the condition of anonymity, a very senior official of UP transport department said, “In no circumstances two vehicles can have same registration number. Neither anyone is allowed to use fancy fonts on number plates. The registration number should be very clear to read without giving any second thought of doubt or confusion.”
