To receive his 10-year compensation, Erol Eğrek went to the Çalık Holding building in Şişli yesterday afternoon with his licensed firearm, wanting to meet with company officials.

HE PUT THE GUN TO HIS HEAD

After his request was not met, Eğrek fired three shots into a flowerpot in front of the building. As security personnel and bodyguards approached, Eğrek put the gun to his head.

THEY BEAT HIM WITH KICKS AND PUNCHES

After intervening, security personnel and bodyguards beat the 49-year-old man with kicks and punches. Eğrek, who was taken to the hospital after sustaining injuries, could not be saved despite all interventions.

4 OF THE DETAINED SUSPECTS WERE ARRESTED

After the police teams dispatched to the scene conducted their investigations, 6 bodyguards were detained in connection with the incident. Of the 6 suspects sent to the courthouse, 4 were arrested and sent to prison for 'intentional murder'. 2 suspects were released under judicial control.

STATEMENT FROM ÇALIK HOLDING

Meanwhile, in a statement regarding the incident, Çalık Holding claimed that Erol Eğrek had worked at a foreign company where they held minority shares about 10 years ago and left his position after receiving all his rights.

The statement read: "On May 9, 2025, around 2:30 PM, an armed attempt was made in front of our Holding building. The individual fired 3-4 shots, posing a life-threatening risk in the busy area between our building and the hospital. Considering the nearby school, hospital, and employees, the security forces were immediately notified, and upon the individual resisting with his weapon, swift intervention was made to prevent any loss of life or injury, and he was handed over to the security personnel. In the evening, it was learned from the authorized units that unfortunately, Erol Eğrek, who carried out the act, had passed away. We first wish God's mercy upon the deceased Erol Eğrek and extend our condolences to his family and loved ones.

"HE HAD RECEIVED HIS RIGHTS"

Erol Eğrek had worked at a factory abroad where we held minority shares about 10 years ago, and later left his position after receiving all his rights. However, during the 10 years that have passed, he has made unfounded accusations to judicial and administrative authorities claiming that he has not received his rights against our company.
