Provincial gendarmerie teams carried out an anti-drug check at the Gülüşkür Bridge area on the Elazığ-Bingöl highway.[1] Officers stopped and searched a minibus travelling from Bingöl toward Elazığ.[1]

During the search they seized 3 kilograms of cannabis wrapped around the body of passenger O.S.[1] A second account says officers grew suspicious of O.S.’s behaviour and, on a body search, found 3 kilograms of powdered cannabis wrapped on him.[2]

The Haber7 account, credited to the Anadolu Agency, says the same 3 kilograms were taken off O.S. on the minibus and that a court in Elazığ remanded him on the trafficking charge.[3] O.S. was detained and, after questioning by the gendarmerie, was remanded in custody by a court on a charge of drug trafficking.[1]
