Raj: Cash was stopped at the toll plazas of all the national highways of the country, necessitating a fast tag applicable from February 15 across the country. Rules for imposing quick tags on vehicles on the national highway without fast tags and charging double the amount for not doing so were implemented. After a few days of trouble, this fast tag slowly started running smoothly, but the vicious people found a new jugaad to get out cheaply on the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer highway in Rajasthan, which everyone was surprised to see.

Actually, for the fast tag to reduce the money, the deeds of vicious people have come up on Jasnath Nagar toll plaza on National Highway number 125 of Jodhpur-Jaisalmer highway. He put a fast tag of car-jeep category on his bus so that the car category money can be recovered. This jugaad continued unabated at the toll plaza for several days, but when the toll plaza manager Suresh Sharma saw a decrease in the daily income, he began to closely scrutinize the vehicles coming and going to the toll. After which the case was revealed.

Suresh Sharma, manager of Jasnath Nagar Toll Plaza, said that the bus number RJ-19-PA-8611 had put the tag of the car category on this route so that when the bus comes on the toll, it will be charged Rs 90 according to the car category. Surprisingly, the tag that was attached to this bus is of a Bolero train number (RJ19 UB 4973). At the same time, one such tag number 34161FA8203288AC088FFE40 from a Bolero-RJ 43 GA 0504 and bus number RJ19 PA 1198, and Bolero camper number RJ19 GE 9955, RJ19 GE 1852 and Bolero number RJ39 UA 1136 vehicles were coming out of these three tolls everyday. Still no one was suspicious.

While the truth is that this tag number Scorpio RJ14 UD 6975 has been allotted. When Aaj Tak's team arrived on the spot, a Bolero car number RJ 07 GD 3174 with fast tag car mounted on it was caught on the spot. The drivers of most buses and cars do not place fast tags on the glass and keep it in the pocket as soon as the toll comes, it is removed from the pocket and shown at the toll plaza, so that the car leaves immediately.

In this way, this bus used to pass through three toll plazas on this route and when going to and coming back to these three, the toll charges are about Rs 900 according to the bus. But due to the fast tag of the car jeep category, the bus departs for just Rs 270. At the same time, Sharma said that more than two dozen fake Aadhaar cards have also been seized. These are fake Aadhaar cards of people who used to tell themselves of this village and used to cross the toll. When we checked the Aadhaar cards of those people, about two dozen Aadhaar cards turned out to be fake.
