When it comes to wrong parking, UP traffic police are not ready to spare their wrath, even if it's the Japan envoy's car.

Japan's Ambassador to India, Kenji Hiramatsu, who met Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath had no clue that his car was towed away by the cops for wrong parking.

ASP (traffic) Habibul Hasan said that at 2.14pm, a white SUV (UP 32 GN 4912) was spotted stranded in front of Gate Number 2 at Vidhan Bhawan Annexe, reports TOI.

The car was then taken to the Hazartganj Kasmanda House in order to issue a challan.

When the police realised that the car was owned by a private agency that was being used by the Japanese envoy, they immediately released it without a challan.
