Fake Traffic Challan SMS and Suspicious mParivahan Link

I received a suspicious SMS claiming that a traffic challan of ₹2,000 had been issued for a vehicle. The message contained a link that opened a page resembling the Google Play Store for the mParivahan app. I suspect this may be a phishing scam intended to mislead people. I contacted the person associated with the message, but he denied knowing about it and claimed that messages were being sent from his number. I am reporting this incident for investigation. No financial loss has occurred to me so far.
