The Enforcement Bureau provided an official statement regarding the situation related to the stopping of a car in Tashkent. This was reported by Upl.uz.
It was noted that the actions of law enforcement agencies were based on the existing court order and the debts of the car owner regarding natural gas consumption. The driver of the car had previously been wanted in an enforcement case.
This situation attracted public attention. The incident occurred on July 16, 2025, on one of the busy streets of the capital, Fergana Road.
Traffic police officers stopped a BYD Song Plus Champion model car and informed the driver that his property was confiscated due to court debts. The car owner stated that he did not agree with the claims and showed that payments for utility services had been made on time in his mobile application.
Nevertheless, the driver's evidence was not accepted on the spot, and the car was taken to the impound lot. To resolve the situation, the debtor was required to present a document confirming that there were no debts.
The man immediately contacted the district branch of "Hududgazta'minot" joint-stock company and was informed that there were no debts, suggesting that the situation might be the result of a technical error. However, according to the press service of the Enforcement Bureau, the enforcement actions are based on the court order No. 2-1002-2513/28984 dated April 11, 2025, of the Mirabad inter-district civil court.
According to this document, a debt of 2,857,000 soums from the citizen to "Hududgazta'minot" JSC and 375,000 soums in state duty was to be collected. Based on the court document, enforcement proceedings were initiated by the Yashnobod district department on April 23, 2025.
The debtor's car was confiscated because he did not pay the debt within the specified period. On May 23, 2025, the car and its owner were put on the wanted list in the relevant databases.
The Bureau also emphasized that payments to the debtor's natural gas account were only made after the aforementioned measures were implemented. The funds were transferred through two separate transactions on July 1 and on the same day the car was stopped, July 16.
The agency believes that this situation indicates that the debt was only paid under the threat of property confiscation.
