Ganderbal, February 22(SM): In a major crackdown on fraudulent activities during the driving license test, the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) in Ganderbal identified and took strict action against two individuals appearing as proxy candidates for applicants.
During the verification process on February 19, 2025, officials caught an individual appearing on behalf of another applicant. Investigations revealed that the proxy candidate already held a valid driving license (DL No. JK1620240002801). In response to this fraudulent act, the licensing authority cancelled the proxy candidate’s driving license with immediate effect and blocked the learning license of the original applicant (Learning License No. JK16/0005874/2024).
A similar case surfaced during the driving license test on February 12, 2025, when officials discovered another individual appearing as a proxy candidate.

Consequently, the authorities cancelled their driving license and blocked the learning license of the original applicant (Learning License No. JK16/0908721/2024). MVD Inspector Manzoor Qureshi played a crucial role in uncovering the fraud and ensuring strict action was taken against the offenders.
