In June 2020, he claimed a car of the TIP he was using was sabotaged by his political opponents in order to cause an accident. After he demanded clarification in a case in which a sergeant was accused of the rape of the Kurdish 18 year old student İpek Er, but released from custody, he drew harsh criticism on him by the Turkish Minister of the Interior Süleyman Soylu, who blamed him of being a sympathizer of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the People's Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C) and advised him "don't get caught". The following night, he claimed that he was attacked by five individuals, causing him to stay the night in the hospital. For the assault, he blamed Soylu.
