Officials said the high-end luxury car has been seized by police after it was reportedly involved in reckless driving, including drifting on public roads.

According to transport department officials, the vehicle was found to be operating with a fake registration number, a serious violation under motor vehicle laws. The Regional Transport Office (RTO) imposed a hefty penalty of ₹35 lakh on Ricky Rai for the offence.

Authorities stated that using fraudulent number plates undermines vehicle tracking and law enforcement mechanisms, and attracts strict penalties.

In addition to the number plate violation, police action was triggered after the Lamborghini was allegedly seen drifting—considered a dangerous driving practice—on city roads.

Following the incident, traffic police seized the vehicle for further investigation and to prevent continued violations. Officials emphasised that such reckless behaviour poses a serious risk to public safety.

Police have initiated legal proceedings against Ricky Rai under relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act. Further investigation is underway to determine if there are additional violations linked to the vehicle.

Authorities are also verifying registration details and ownership records to establish how the fake number plate was procured and used.

The incident highlights increasing scrutiny by Bengaluru authorities on traffic violations involving luxury vehicles. Officials have reiterated that no individual, regardless of status, will be exempt from enforcement of traffic laws.

Recent drives have focused on curbing dangerous driving practices such as overspeeding, stunt driving, and use of illegal modifications or fake registrations.

The seizure of the Lamborghini and imposition of a substantial fine underline the seriousness with which authorities are addressing traffic violations in Bengaluru. The case serves as a reminder that strict compliance with vehicle registration and road safety norms is mandatory for all motorists.
