Speaking to reporters, Chief Inspector of the Ministry Nguyen Tien Tung said: “Driver Nguyen Duy Thanh has been prosecuted by the police, so the next step in the case will be handled by the police. After that, the Ministry will continue to handle it according to regulations.”

Chief Inspector Nguyen Tien Tung also informed: "In the report sent to the Ministry Inspectorate, driver Nguyen Duy Thanh stated that at around 7:00 p.m. on January 18, while driving through Chuong Duong Bridge, because he wanted to turn, driver Thanh signaled to turn right.

However, the traffic police did not allow him to turn right and asked the vehicles to go straight because the road was congested. Because he still wanted to turn right, driver Thanh tried to move the wheel and turn the steering wheel to the right. However, while he was moving the car, a traffic police officer used a baton to tap on the hood of the car.

At this time, driver Nguyen Duy Thanh was still sitting in the car, rolled down the window and reached out to slap the mobile police officer. Immediately after, driver Thanh also got out of the car and apologized to the police officer but to no avail.

"That is what I know from driver Thanh's report. I think this is also an occupational accident. Because for many years working at the Ministry, driver Duy Thanh is a very gentle person, never arguing loudly with anyone. Almost everyone at the Ministry who knows the story feels sorry for him, and I personally feel sorry for him too. But even if we feel sorry, we should not and cannot cover it up. We are determined to handle it seriously to set an example for other cases," Chief Inspector Nguyen Tien Tung affirmed.

“Some newspapers reported and public opinion said that I was also in that car, but this information is completely false. If I was in that car, the driver would never have acted so rashly,” the Chief Inspector added.

Previously, on the evening of January 18 at the foot of Chuong Duong Bridge (Hanoi), traffic police were on duty to regulate traffic and mobile police were added to guide vehicles to go straight to avoid congestion.

However, at this time, while driving across Chuong Duong bridge, the driver of the blue license plate car belonging to the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs did not obey orders and behaved rudely towards the police officers on duty.

The task force immediately took decisive measures, bringing this person and the car to Bo De Ward Police Station to make a record, hand over the case, and then inform Long Bien District Police to investigate and handle the case.

At the police station, driver Thanh confessed that he did not use any stimulants or alcohol when the incident occurred. He slapped the police officer out of anger.

As soon as the incident occurred, Minister of Labor Dao Ngoc Dung directed that it be strictly handled and not covered up.

On January 20, Long Bien District Police, Hanoi issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Nguyen Duy Thanh (born in 1975, hometown Phu Tho) for the act of Resisting a person on official duty (according to Article 257 of the Penal Code).
