The Adana Governorship announced that the claim of a taxi driver working in the central Çukurova district being assaulted by a police officer does not reflect the truth.
The Adana Governorship made a statement following reports in some media outlets and social media platforms that "a large number of taxi drivers began to gather in front of the police station after the claim that a taxi driver working in the Çukurova district was assaulted by a police officer on duty at the Fatih Police Station."
"DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO UNFOUNDED SHARING"
In the statement, it was noted that "the incident in question was determined to be a fight between commercial taxi drivers operating in the Çukurova district and taxi drivers known as TAG who provide private transportation services through an application. There has been no assault by any on-duty police officer against the taxi driver. A judicial investigation has been initiated regarding the incident, and it is strongly requested that the public does not pay attention to such unfounded shares that are misleading."
STATEMENT FROM THE DRIVERS' CHAMBER
Tahir Alpaslan, the President of the Adana Drivers and Automobile Chamber, also stated to reporters that the incident has no connection with the police, adding that law enforcement is continuing its efforts to capture the suspect who assaulted the taxi driver.
