Erol Eğrek, who set fire to a flower pot due to not receiving his rights from Çalık Holding, was assaulted by security personnel. Following the injuries he sustained, he was taken to the hospital, where he later passed away. After his death, Çalık Holding made a statement. In the statement, it was mentioned that Eğrek had received all his rights but still blamed the company.

Former employee Erol Eğrek, who went to the Çalık Holding building in Şişli to receive his compensation, was attacked by security guards. Eğrek, who was taken to the hospital, lost his life. The moments of the assault were captured on security cameras. After the incident, Çalık Holding made a written statement.

FIRED 3 SHOTS AT THE FLOWER POT

49-year-old Erol Eğrek arrived at the Çalık Holding building in Şişli with his licensed firearm. Eğrek wanted to meet with company officials because he claimed he had not received his compensation after being dismissed. When his request was not met, Eğrek fired 3 shots at a flower pot in front of the building.

BEATEN WITH KICKS AND PUNCHES

As the guards approached, Eğrek pointed the gun to his head. After the security guards and bodyguards intervened, they beat the 49-year-old man with kicks and punches. Eğrek, who was taken to the hospital after the blows he received, could not be saved despite all interventions. After the incident, 6 bodyguards were taken into custody.

STATEMENT FROM ÇALIK HOLDING

The statement made is as follows: "On May 9, 2025, around 14:30, an armed attack attempt occurred in front of our Holding building. The individual fired 3-4 shots, posing a life-threatening danger in the busy area between our building and the hospital. Considering the nearby school, hospital, and employees, the security forces were immediately notified, and due to the individual's resistance 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 relevant authorities that Erol Eğrek, who carried out the act, unfortunately, lost his life. First of all, we 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 worked at a factory abroad where we hold 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 against our company to judicial and administrative authorities, claiming that he has not received his rights.
