Police prepared E-Challan using the available photograph and sent it to the owner. When the Royal Enfield owner got the challan message, he decided to go to the RTO office to confirm. The owner saw in the photo that it was not his own bike.
The owner who has received the challan message owns a red-colored Royal Enfield in the same registration. He explained to the officers that he had never passed through there.
