Prior to 1980 Turkish coup d'etat, he was arrested by the Military Court No. 1 on May 20, 1979 on allegations of his involvement in killing and wounding persons and various bombings in Şişli and Gültepe in İstanbul. However, the court decided to release him pending trial, and he was acquitted subsequently.

He was arrested on July 10, 1981 as one of the persons involved in the killing of Zafer Ereske in 1980. He was convicted on January 29, 1981 for planting bombs and carrying a gun without license.

During the period he served in Metris Prison in Istanbul, he handed in a petition on April 24, 1988, requesting to benefit from the Repentance Law.

On August 27, 1996, while he was together with Celal Babür and Ferda Temel, the police officers in charge of protecting Prime Minister Tansu Çiller, in Bebek, İstanbul, he was shot dead along with Babür in an attack carried out by a hitman of Alaattin Çakıcı.
