‘Rs 1.5 lakh challan after a year?’ Indian tourist left shocked as Switzerland trip turns costly months later

An Indian tourist was left surprised after receiving a traffic fine of nearly Rs 1.5 lakh almost a year after returning from a vacation in Switzerland. The penalty arrived by mail long after the trip, catching her completely off guard.

Social Media Post Seeks Help

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the woman, identified as Poan Sapdi, shared her experience and sought guidance from others who may have faced similar situations.

"Has anyone here received a traffic violation fine from Switzerland months after returning from a vacation?" she wrote. "We just received a challan of almost Rs 1 lakh, nearly a year after our trip. We're trying to understand if there's any way to appeal, reduce, or get it waived."
