> A policeman in Xi’an, China caused an uproar after he was found to have issued a parking ticket to a man who had died inside his car, China Press reported.

The 38-year-old taxi driver was believed to have stopped outside a restaurant on April 30 to rest but died suddenly in his vehicle.

Video footage showed a police officer placing a ticket on the taxi for errant parking without checking on the unconsciou­s man.

Netizens criticised the police for “caring only about money but not the well being of the people”.

They said the officer should have advised the driver to move his vehicle before issuing a ticket, which would have led him to discover the man’s condition.

Xi’an traffic police said they were probing the case.
