The Pune traffic police in the city have launched a mega drive against bikes, cars and other vehicles with fancy number plates.
The city police have taken action against 4100 people with fines worth over Rs 31 lakh recovered in the last four months.
Apart from the action on fancy number plates, the cops are also taking action against tinted windows and motorists with loud silencers.

Fancy number plates: Rs 31,09,600 recovered from 4100 motorists
Tinted windows: Rs 30,42,150 from 2997 motorists
