He should be heard as a witness since it was understood that his messaging with Aras actually involved him in the incident,
 
* Public Prosecutor Mustafa Ali Öğütçü was heard as a witness on the grounds that the defendants and the suspects who were given KYOK stated in their Whatsapp correspondence that they said: "We met with the prosecutor, two people should take the blame" and that they declared this prosecutor as Public Prosecutor Mustafa Ali Öğütçü,
 
* Notifying the HSYK, as the investigation prosecutor has been found to be guilty of negligence and abuse of duty,
 
* Conducting discovery because the alleged plot in the file is contrary to the rules, as claimed by the other party on the night of the incident, and contradicts the evidence,
 
* Since it is understood that the applications made to the Constitutional Court and the Ministry of Justice will shed light on this file, the applications are expected to be awaited,

* Filing a criminal complaint against administrative and judicial officials who did not take the necessary precautions after the incident,
 
* A criminal complaint should be filed against Ahmet Ardıç, who called 112 on the night of the incident and declared in your court that he was at the scene of the incident, for trying to mislead the court in the HTS records and for trying to prevent a fair trial,
 
* As it is understood that the persons who called 112 on the night of the incident were the victims Serpil Dedeoğulları and Ahmet Ardıç, and that Ahmet Ardıç give false testimony, we request that the persons who called 112 on the night of the incident be identified and their statements taken as witnesses.``
