ALBAWABA - Lawyers rushed to the Narcotics Branch as Doğukan Güngör faced questioning.

A new development has brought actor Doğukan Güngör, widely known for his role as Fatih in the hit TV series Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sorbet), into the spotlight. The young actor was one of the people arrested in the fourth wave of operations this week as part of an investigation into illegal drugs.

When cops worked together at the start of the week, they detained 25 people. The Narcotics Branch in Halkal housed the arrested individuals overnight. The following morning, Thursday, they were taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute in Yenibosna for regular checks. Once that was over, each person was taken back to the Narcotics Branch and questioned separately.

Some of the people who are being investigated are actress Doğukan Güngör, singer Alya Şahinler, producer Muzaffer Yıldırım, social media star Burak Altındağ, and Ciciş Sisters member Ceyda Ersoy. The trial of these people was put off because they were not fully questioned. The police stated that all 25 people who were arrested will be taken to the Çağlayan Courthouse tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., where the prosecutor will decide what the next legal steps will be.

The Narcotics Branch reportedly experienced an unusual incident during the interview process. A group of lawyers came to the branch to try to help Doğukan Güngör. This incident happened after the actor recently broke up with his boss, so he didn't have a lawyer at the time of the investigation. Some lawyers attempted to meet Güngör, who reportedly thanked them politely but made no promises to take any action.

The singer Alya Şahinler was with her lawyer, Volkan Alkılıç. At the same time, Hakan Ayranpınar, a lawyer for the production company Gold Film, was there and helped Doğukan Güngör through the whole thing.

Doğukan Güngör is a young star in Turkish TV who is on the rise. He became famous all over the country through Kızılcık Şerbeti, which was one of the most-watched shows in the last few seasons. His role as Fatih earned him many fans and more respect from the media. Before this project, Güngör had been in plays and TV shows, which helped him build his business.

At this point, there has been no official announcement about the investigation's outcome. After court proceedings at Çağlayan Courthouse, the legal officials should be able to explain what's going on.
