The police have conducted an investigation and have charged Shivanand Hulyakar with offences including impersonation, misrepresentation, and potential fraud. Authorities are yet to determine the motive behind his deceptive actions.
According to the police, the accused has previously been involved in an IPC 420 case lodged at the Deccan police station. Further investigation revealed that he had illegally used a government logo on his car.
The Deccan Police Station has filed a case against Shivanand Hulyakar under Sections 170 (personating a public servant) and 171 (wearing garb or carrying a token used by a public servant with fraudulent intent) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The authorities are actively pursuing leads to apprehend the fugitive who is currently at large.
Amber Beacon Rules
In response to the directives of the Supreme Court in December 2013, the state government revised the list of authorized positions permitted to use beacons, releasing an updated version in 2014.

The exclusive rights to employ amber beacons without flashers were restricted to high-ranking officials at or above the secretary level in the state government, police officers holding the rank of inspector general of police and above, and regional commissioners. District officials at the highest levels are allowed to utilize blue beacons.
By October 2014, the transport commissioner’s office had instructed various departments to remove beacons from vehicles belonging to officials without entitlement. Furthermore, it directed all Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) across the state to take decisive action against any unauthorized use of beacons.
Under the provisions outlined in section 108 of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR)-1989, the state government has the authority to grant permission to VIPs, VVIPs, and government officials for the installation of red or amber beacons on their official vehicles.
