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).

The News reported Thursday that Ms Mariana was prompted to complain after almost being run over by the vehicle while driving to Islamabad on the Expressway last week.

The journalist wrote to Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani informing him about the incident. This led to the Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan directing the police to impound the vehicle and investigate the matter.
