Called family from abroad to report that news of his
death was premature (!). 

A search operation was launched for Abdulkadir Taştan, the driver of the 
car that plunged into the Selgelen stream, a tributary of the Euphrates,
who was thought to have been swept away by the current and 
disappeared. 

However (!), Taştan, who was found to have numerous criminal records, 
was revealed to have planned to fake his own death when he called his 
family from abroad. 

On Friday night, in the Akçakale district of Şanlıurfa, a car with the 
registration number 34 GET 243, driven by Abdulkadir Taştan (36), 
plunged into the Selgelen stream. Neighborhood residents who witnessed 
the accident reported it to the Gendarmerie. The car was recovered from 
the stream, but Abdulkadir Taştan was not found. 

After some time, it was discovered that Taştan, who was found to have 
numerous criminal records and was being searched for on the grounds 
that he had been swept away by the current, had called his family. It 
was learned that Taştan had called his family and said he had fled abroad. 
Furthermore, it was determined that the car with the registration number 
34 GET 243, which was recovered from the stream, was stolen. (!)
