1) Do not file a false theft complaint, as reporting a sold or scrapped bike as stolen is a serious criminal offence (filing a false FIR under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita / IPC) that can lead to prosecution and imprisonment.

2) Since you do not have the chassis number cutout or an official scrap certificate, your bike's Registration Certificate (RC) cannot be cancelled through the standard, automated RTO route.

 

3)Instead of a theft report, file an official written intimation/report at your local police station and the Mayapuri police station.state that you scrapped the bike enclose print out screenshots/frames from the video you have showing the vehicle being dismantled or scrapped.amd You RC and identity certificate 

 


4) visit RTO office 

  • Explain that this is a case of an "unauthorized/local kabadi scrapping" prior to the strict enforcement of the Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) rules. 
  • The RTO has discretionary powers to accept your affidavit, initiate an internal verification through the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) to ensure the bike hasn't been used in a recent crime, and manually mark the vehicle status as "End of Life" / Permanently Cancelled in the VAHAN database.

Filing a false FIR when the vehicle was actually sold and scrapped is illegal under Indian law (punishable under Section 217 / Section 248 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, formerly IPC Sections 182 and 211). If police investigate your complaint, perform an National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) verification, or locate the video evidence/dealer, you could face criminal prosecution for perjury and reporting false information to a public servant.

Since you sold the bike to an unorganized scrap dealer without receiving an official Certificate of Deposit (CoD) or chassis cutout, standard online processing is blocked. However, under Section 55 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, you can apply for manual cancellation of registration due to vehicle destruction.

You may prepare a notarized affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper stating that the vehicle is completely destroyed, no longer exists physically, and will never be driven on public roads and that you undertake full personal responsibility for any future liability and confirm no court cases, insurance claims, or loans are pending against it.

Along with the affidavit you submit an application to the concerned RTO by complying with necessary formalities in this regard and request for the desired relief.

If the RTO formally accepts your written application with documents but delays cancellation, keep the stamped receipt permanently. That acknowledgment serves as your legal protection against future liabilities or misuse.
