Hi learned experts,
I wish to know the laws regarding use of police vehicle outside the registered state.
I am asking because I was driving alone yesterday in Nashik highway when I was stopped by a alleged "police" in a vehicle registration number starting from "GJ" and 2 men (not in uniform) were asking to show my drivers licence, registration etc.
Their vehicle was a Maruti Suzuki make. Their vehicle had no police lights or sticker, but had one "POLICE" board in the front side, near the steering wheel.
When I asked them to show their ID, they started misbehaving in voice, and said stuff like they will book me etc. It was during the day so I managed to raise my voice to attract other passers by and in 10 minutes they asked me to just leave.
Is it legal to operate in such a way?
What are the country's laws that allow GJ police vehicle to be used in MH?
Should they have special permit? Should the police vehicle have any sticker? Or NOC etc?
Thanks!
