During house raids carried out in Urfa (Riha), Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) assembly member Muhsin Aydoğdu and party's Youth Assembly member Ömer Kıstak were taken into custody.

The police did not inform Aydoğdu's family about the investigation due to "confidentiality" reasons. The mobile phones used by Aydoğdu's parents were also confiscated.

Aydoğdu and Kıstak were taken to Provincial Police Department.
