Vehicle with 'senator' number plate impounded on journalist's complaint
A vehicle with the illegal number plate 'Senator-RV-333' was impounded by Islamabad Police following a complaint from journalist Mariana Baabar. The complaint arose after she experienced a near-miss incident while driving.

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Police have impounded a vehicle bearing an illegal registration number 'Senator-RV-333' following a complaint lodged by senior journalist Mariana Baabar (pictured).
