AN able-bodied woman has been fined for fraudulently using her father-in-law's disabled blue badge.
Gita Ladva, from Wembley, was fined £350 and made to pay £350 in costs, as well as a £15 victim surcharge.
Brent Council's Audit and Investigation team swooped when a member of the public spotted her displaying the badge in her car before walking to Preston Road underground station.
They discovered that Mrs Ladva was using the badge of her disabled father-in-law, Lalji Ladva, to park in Preston Waye, the nearest disabled access parking to the tube station.
Despite her husband Dhiresh Ladva initially claiming that his wife had used the badge when travelling with her father-in-law on the tube, further inquiries revealed that any travel by the father-in-law could have been traced through his use of his Freedom Pass, and eventually Mrs Ladva confessed she had misused the badge.
So her husband committed perjury.
