A fraudulent toll plaza operated for 1.5 years on private land in Gujarat's Morbi, bypassing a national highway. Charging half the toll price, it deceived drivers, including government officials and police. The scam was exposed by the authorized Vaghasia toll plaza, revealing daily extortion. Truck drivers, tempted by reduced tolls, unknowingly contributed to the illegal tax collection, diverting traffic from the actual highway route. Morbi district authorities and police took action after receiving information, filing a complaint against the owners of White House Ceramic Company, whose land facilitated the scam. The incident raises concerns about security and oversight.
