This incident occurred at the Pimpri Chinchwad Regional Transport Office between December 15, 2022, and May 10, 2023.

According to the police, Pritam Shinde had taken a loan from the State Bank for a Jaguar Land Rover car in 2018. Due to non-payment of the loan installments, the bank had sent a letter to the Sub-Regional Transport Office to list the vehicle as black-listed.

The RTO had complied by adding the vehicle to the black list. The accused prepared forged documents from the State Bank, placed fake stamps on RTO Form 35, and managed to remove the vehicle from the black list. This act led to the defrauding of the Sub-Regional Transport Office and the State Bank of India.
