As per the Motor Vehicles Act, if a vehicle is left abandoned or unattended for 10 hours or more in a public place, so as to cause impediment to the free flow of traffic, its removal by a towing service or wheel clamping may be authorised by a police officer in uniform having jurisdiction.
A complaint can also be made to the MCD for towing of abandoned vehicle. MCD shall paste a notice allowing the owner to claim the vehicle within one week post which the vehicle shall be towed and disposed off accordingly.
Public area is different from residential area.
