The incident took place in Shamshabad, a suburb of Hyderabad. High-end cars involved in the incident were multiple Lamborghini Huracans and Maserati GranTurismo, Rolls-Royce and Ferrari among others.

The authorities have registered cases against the vehicle owners for driving on roads without paying the tax. Besides the impending vehicles, the owners have been fined up to 5 crore. All the vehicles were seized by the officials and were taken to the RTA office.

This reminds us why one should not be avoiding paying road taxes, no matter how affordable or expensive his or her car or any other vehicle is.
