Zaroğlu gets involved in another incident: “Hello… Save me”

Police stopped a rented car for a routine check yesterday. The police officer asked the driver for his license and registration but when the driver was unable to show the documents the car was seized. It emerged the car driven by a university student was rented by a different person. The university student driving the car called the YDP (Rebirth Party) MP Bertan Zaroğlu on the phone. Zaroğlu, who spoke with the officer, said the car was registered under his name before throwing a tantrum on social media claiming that his car had been seized despite him being an MP.
