Feruz Parmonov, a Poytaxt Parking paid parking inspector died after being struck by a car in Tashkent's Yunusabad district on November 28, the company said in a statement.

The man was at work on Abdulla Kadiri Street when, at approximately 11:10 a.m., the driver of an GM Onix struck him, then rammed two cars—a Nexia 3 and a Cobalt—before driving into a green zone. His injuries were fatal.

The Investigative Department of the Tashkent Police Department has opened a criminal case under Violation of traffic safety regulations resulting in death charge.

The company is in constant contact with the relevant authorities and is in full cooperation with the investigation, aimed at objectively determining the degree of guilt of the driver, Poytaxt Parking added.

We express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. This is a profound loss for our team. Feruz was a decent, hardworking, and responsible person, and his sudden passing is a tremendous blow to everyone who worked alongside him. We mourn with his family. The company and its staff are providing the family with all necessary moral and material support, the statement reads.

Meanwhile, Poytaxt Parking stated that it was "extremely concerned by the dissemination of photo and video footages from the scene of the tragedy on social media, accompanied by hate comments and claims that the incident is related to the introduction of paid parking in the area. These claims are misleading and constitute an attempt to exploit a human tragedy."

We urge the public to respect the memory of the deceased, await the completion of the official investigation, and refrain from disseminating inaccurate or false information. Following the investigation, the company will provide additional information, the statement concluded.
