Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police seized 91 vehicles during a crackdown on “drunken driving” in Bhubaneswar on a single night.

The vehicles were seized during the “Safe City Drive” initiative conducted in the capital city with active participation from various police stations across Bhubaneswar.

Sources said Bhubaneswar Traffic P.S- I & II were particularly active, by seizing 37 vehicles, including 26 four-wheelers and 11 two-wheelers. Several high-end vehicles of different brands were also seized.

The traffic police also seized five vehicles involved in reverse riding using spikes, one vehicle for wrong-side driving, and four vehicles for drunken driving. The offenders, who were heavily intoxicated, attempted to evade capture by making U-turns and driving dangerously in reverse, police were prepared for such eventualities and used spikes to halt and seize these vehicles.

Criminal cases have been filed against 13 individuals who were found to be heavily intoxicated and engaged in reverse riding, with some even attempting to run over police personnel while obstructing them in the discharge of their duties.

The police have adopted a “Zero Tolerance Approach” towards such reckless behaviour and are determined to bring these offenders to justice.

The Commissionerate Police has recommended the suspension of driving licenses to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) for those found guilty of drunken driving. Offenders will have to pay fines in court and obtain a release order before they can reclaim their seized vehicles.
