Vishrantwadi police registered an FIR against Roppen Transport Services Private Limited, which operates Rapido, for running bike taxi services without mandatory permissions using petrol-powered, non-transport two-wheelers. This action followed a complaint by a Pune Regional Transport Office inspector after Rapido allegedly failed to comply with a directive from the Pune collector and Regional Transport Authority chief to halt operations within 24 hours. The FIR invoked provisions related to operating transport services without valid licenses and permits.
