Overview

  • The incident occurred on March 12, 2025, when a Porsche owner fled a petrol station between Hubei and Shaanxi provinces without paying a ₹6,000 bill.
  • The attendant, surnamed Song, was forced to pay the bill herself due to company policy but was reimbursed by her employer two days later.
  • Song posted surveillance footage online, which went viral and led to widespread public condemnation of the driver's behavior.
  • Police tracked down the driver four days later; he apologized and paid the amount online but is now under investigation for potential penalties under China's Public Security Administration Punishments Law.
  • The case has highlighted issues of economic disparity, the vulnerability of low-income workers, and the role of social media and surveillance in enforcing accountability.
