Dear client, yes, authorities can seize the vehicle if any offense is involved, like rash driving, lack of documents or breach of law even if no one was injured under it. It if it was just a minor argument with no offense, seizure is usually not justified in it. May this help and you have any further issues do not hesitate to contact us.

For a minor brawl without injury, vehicle seizure by transport authorities is usually not allowed unless specific laws are violated. You can ask for a written reason for seizure and approach consumer courts or police if it’s wrongful. If needed, consult a lawyer to file a petition for vehicle release.
