Authorities in Erzurum have launched both administrative and judicial investigations into Palandöken District Governor Yunus Kızılgüneş and his bodyguard.

The Erzurum Governorship stated that an inquiry has been initiated to uncover the true nature of the incident. Simultaneously, the Erzurum Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has opened a criminal investigation into the matter.
