FIR against 'unidentified' gives long rope to touts at Lucknow RTO

In spite of the DM's surprise inspection of a commercial complex outside regional transport office (RTO) and also of the RTO, where eight suspected touts were caught while police complaint was made against one found engaged in RTO work illegally, last month, the FIR lodged in this regard with the Sarojini Nagar police station does not specify as to how many touts are active there.
