LAHORE: Renowned singer Ali Zafar entered into a verbal spat with officials of the Excise Department after he was caught travelling in an unregistered car in Lahore, Express News reported.
According to Express News, the Excise Department has initiated an operation against unregistered vehicles in the city, and Zafar was stopped while passing through a checkpoint near Lorry Chowk, DHA.
When asked to present a copy of the vehicle’s registration documents, Zafar said he did not have one as he had just bought the car. However, documents checked by the excise officials revealed that the car was purchased at least a month ago.
The singer exchanged heated words with the excise official who wanted to confiscate the vehicle, as it had passed the legal time allotted for registration.
People gathered at the site requested officials to let him go as he is a renowned singer — a national hero, who has represented the country abroad as well.
He was set free after assuring officials to get the car registered within two – three days and present the documents to the Excise Department.
