Mapusa, November 11 (TNN): Mapusa police on Thursday registered a case against an unknown person for illegally transferring the ownership of three buses from Nagaland and registering them at the RTO office at Mapusa by forging the signature thereby cheating the authorities. The Mapusa RTO office had recently detained three buses for not possessing valid documents. The buses were lying at the RTO office but nobody came to claim them.
Suspecting something was amiss, the RTO later inquired into the ownership of the vehicles, which revealed that the three buses from Nagaland were transferred, renowned and re-registered by a Siolim resident Sudesh Chandrakant Shirodkar. Shirodkar claimed before authorities that the buses did not belong to him. He claimed that some unknown person must have used his name and signature to re-register the buses.
Assistant director of transport of Mapusa, Ivo Rodrigues, complained that on June 29 some unknown person forged Shirodkar’s signature on the transfer and registration documents in order to transfer the ownership and register the vehicles. He then submitted the same as genuine before the competent authority and succeeded in transferring the ownership of the three buses and getting new registration. The police have registered the case under Section 468, Section 471, Section 420 of the IPC. ASI V V Naik is investigating the case under the supervision of PI Rajesh Kumar.
