Salamander police chief goes
Print Edition
A POLICE chief in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen has been sacked after colleagues roughed up reporters who had tried to report on officers dining on a giant salamander, an endangered animal in China.
The officers were eating the giant salamander, the world鈥檚 largest amphibian, at a seafood restaurant.
Officers attacked three reporters who tried to photograph the meal, snatching phones and cameras, according to the Southern Metropolis Daily.
Shenzhen police said in a statement on their microblog late Monday that an investigation had shown that the giant salamander in question had been raised in captivity. That meant 鈥渢here was no such problem of it being an endangered giant salamander,鈥 it said.
The meal, costing 5,025 yuan (US$804), was also not paid for out of public funds and none of those attending came in official vehicles, the Shenzhen police statement said.
However, Wang Yuanping, the east Shenzhen precinct chief, did not provide accurate information about the investigation and abused his power in ordering four officers to stand guard outside the restaurant, it said.
鈥淗is actions constituted an abuse of power,鈥 the statement said.
