A resident of Sumgayit found himself in an unpleasant situation.

As reported by BAKU.WS, information about this has spread on social media.

The complainant reported that he was sent a fine for a car that does not belong to him.

"This car is not mine. My car is gray, and the vehicle in the fine notification is white. Also, the license plate number in the photo ends with 989. And they sent the fine to me.
