Threats, harassment, and blackmail against female hospital workers: Suspect arrested

Authorities in Mardin's Kızıltepe district have arrested a suspect accused of sending threatening, harassing, and blackmailing messages to female healthcare workers at the local state hospital.

The investigation was launched following complaints from several female doctors, nurses, and administrative staff who reported receiving malicious messages. These communications were reportedly sent through fake social media accounts and international phone numbers.

An inquiry by the Provincial Police Department's Cybercrime Branch identified the suspect as Ş.A., who has a history of 34 previous offenses. Additionally, Ş.A. was reportedly wanted for fraud charges.

As part of the ongoing investigation by the Kızıltepe Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Ş.A.'s statement was taken via the Audio and Visual Information System (SEGBİS) from the prison where he is being held. A local criminal court ordered his arrest.
