Rapper Yuşa Keskin and three other individuals have been released under judicial control after their arrest for allegedly using firearms in a music video. The Canik District Police Department's Crime Prevention and Investigation Bureau initiated an investigation into Keskin, aged 25, following social media posts that appeared to depict the use of weapons, constituting "armed threat - intentionally endangering general safety." An operation was conducted at identified addresses in the district, leading to the apprehension of Keskin and three others, identified as D.U. (26), D.K. (26), and S.Ö. (21), who were seen with firearms in the video clip. After completing their procedures at the police station, the suspects were brought before a judge and subsequently released on the condition of judicial control.
