The traffic department appears to be facing frequent glitches in the issuance of e-challan. Days after a car owner was fined for 'riding without a helmet', a 55-year-old biker has received multiple e-challans in five months for illegal parking of a scooter he doesn't own. Suresh KK, a lensman at mid-day who owns a motorcycle — Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 — has been receiving e-challans on his mobile number since April 10 for parking a TVS Jupiter scooter in a no-parking zone at Bhoiwada.

Till August 10, he has received a total of 10 e-challans for the same scooter with registration number MH 01 CX 4644, Suresh said. "On checking the Mumbai Traffic Police App, I found that all the challans were issued for the same TVS Jupiter scooter," he added.
