We were staying at a friends’ villa in an area close to the construction site. I went to one of the villas and slept, ”Mutlu explained, according to the site.

“When one of my friends couldn’t find me, he reported my disappearance to the gendarmerie. There really was no need for that. I had changed my phone. That’s why the gendarmerie couldn’t reach me when they called. I woke up around 5 in the morning. I thought there was an accident on the road. I saw the search party looking for a missing person. I also participated in the search. ”

But he told aa.com.tr that it was all exaggerated, saying, “I went to the place where I was staying to sleep late at night. When the friend who stayed with me couldn’t find me, they called the gendarmerie. I didn’t know anything, I was sleeping. Someone called me in the morning. ‘ They said. So I got dressed and went downstairs. The search events were exaggerated, nothing of the sort happened. ”

According to Vaziyet, “In İnegöl district of Bursa, a person named Beyhan Mutlu searched himself for hours, assuming that the search efforts initiated for him were for someone else. The teams prepared a report on the search and left the missing person at home. ”
