The investigation into the disappearance of Gülistan Doku, who has been missing since 2020 in Tunceli, has taken a new turn with the arrest of two divers. The divers are accused of "tampering with evidence" after reportedly discovering a note and scissors in the dam lake where Doku was last seen.
This development follows the submission of an expert report, suggesting that new information has emerged that warrants further scrutiny. The discovery of the items by the divers and their subsequent arrest indicate a potential effort to conceal or alter crucial evidence related to Doku's disappearance.
Cumhuriyet reported that the arrests were made based on the expert report, escalating the investigation into a case that has already garnered significant public attention. The accusation of "delil karartma" (tampering with evidence) against the divers suggests a complex scenario, potentially involving deliberate actions to obstruct the search for truth regarding Gülistan Doku's fate.
