An interesting incident occurred on the night of October 8 in the 19 Mayıs neighborhood of the Yüreğir district in Adana.

"I PRETENDED TO BE A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD SHOOT ME"
In his interrogation at the police station, Çelik stated, "I am in the process of getting divorced from my wife. My brothers-in-law always walk around the neighborhood with guns. I pretended to be a police officer because I was afraid they would shoot me. That day, I saw them while passing through the neighborhood, and I searched them to see if they had weapons." I didn't shoot with a gun; I threw a firecracker," he said.
ARRESTED
After his procedures at the police station, İbrahim Çelik was referred to the courthouse and was arrested by the court he was brought before.
