New Delhi. In a major crackdown on a flourishing underground network, Delhi Police has busted a racket selling fake entry permission stickers to commercial vehicles—openly violating the city’s pollution-control and traffic regulations. These illegal passes allowed trucks and commercial vans to enter the capital during restricted hours, bypassing official norms meant to protect the city’s already strained air quality.

ARSC Exposes Syndicate, ₹6 Lakh Earned in Just One Month
The Advanced Road Safety Cell (ARSC) of Delhi Traffic Police unearthed the racket after receiving a complaint from SSI Sanjay Singh at the Badarpur Traffic Circle.
The operation led to the arrest of multiple accused, including Jishan alias Raja, Kapil Kumar Chaudhary, Dinesh Kumar Chaudhary alias Rajkumar, among others.

Police recovered thousands of fake stickers, forged seals, and fabricated documents—revealing the extent of the illegal network.

‘Online Black Market’ for Stickers Discovered
Investigations revealed that the gang operated through WhatsApp groups, where commercial vehicle owners would send their registration numbers and instantly receive fake permission stickers in return for hefty payments.
Police officials described the setup as an “online crime syndicate” with a well-organised system for distributing forged passes.

Seizure Includes Pistol, Spy Camera, and Over 1,300 Fake Stickers
During the raid, police confiscated:

  • 1,300+ forged entry stickers
  • Numerous fake stamps and seals
  • A licence-printing setup
  • A pistol and a spy camera
  • Multiple mobile phones and computers
  • Ledgers containing details of vehicle owners and operators

Officers revealed that the prime accused Jishan posed as a close contact of senior officials to trap unsuspecting drivers and transporters.

Owners, Drivers, Even Small Transporters Duped
The racket targeted commercial vehicle drivers and small operators, who believed they were receiving legitimate permission stickers. Police suspect the gang may have connections with more individuals and agencies involved in facilitating illegal entry for profit.

Delhi Police Widens Probe
Authorities are now expanding the investigation to trace the network’s financial links and identify others associated with the syndicate.

The revelation of this widespread counterfeit-permit operation has raised serious concerns about traffic enforcement loopholes and the risks such illegal entry poses to Delhi’s pollution and safety management systems.

This bust, officials say, is a major step toward restoring order on the capital’s heavily regulated entry routes.
