The story began with the detention last week of Hamit Bayram, the son of a former parliamentary deputy, during a drugs operation. It was alleged Bayram had tried to sell a quantity of drugs to an undercover police officer. Bayram was reported to have said that he could provide a further 100 kilos of heroin if requested.
However, after being taken into custody and transferred to the Van police station, Bayram called his associated, who descended on the building removed him from the cells. The raid took place in the presence of between 20 to 30 police officers.
It has now been revealed that Bayram’s men also took the 48 kilos of heroin that had been confiscated when their leader had been detained.
Authorities have set up a special task force to catch Bayram. A full enquiry has been promised by officials into the circumstances of the raid on the Van police station. | |
