In Menekşe Beach Park, located in Istanbul's Küçükçekmece district, 5-year-old Eda Nur Gezer lost her life after falling into a pool of water formed following excavation work. Four people were detained in the investigation launched following the incident.
Making a statement on the matter, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu reacted to the incident being turned into political material, stating, "We will not leave those responsible unpunished. The investigation by judicial authorities is also ongoing. While we are experiencing the pain of our little child, we are also watching with shame as this incident is being turned into material for political exploitation, as is always the case."
