District Police Reasi has registered two separate FIRs under relevant sections of law, exposing individuals fraudulently operating as Pony service providers.
During routine patrolling near Shri Geeta Mata Mandir, Bathing Ghat-2, a man claiming to be Puran Singh was stopped and asked to produce his authorised Pony service license. On verification, the photograph on the card did not match the individual. Upon further scrutiny, his Aadhaar card revealed his true identity as Manir Hussain Mohd Musa. The impersonator was found to be misusing someone else’s authorised card to operate on the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi track illegally. In another incident near Ban Ganga Bridge, a person identified as Sahil Khan was found operating a Pony without any valid authorisation. Upon inquiry, he admitted to having no registered Pony card in his name, thus violating SDM orders and operating unlawfully.
Further investigation into both the FIRS is underway.
