He was subsequently called out for victim-blaming with several netizens demanding his removal from the post. The celebrity fraternity also took notice of the ill-timed comments and criticised the victim-blaming mindset in the country. And just yesterday, days after the CCPO's statements, Diriliş: Ertuğrul famed Turkish actor Esra Bilgiç also called out Sheikh for blaming the survivor instead of apologising for not having been able to ensure her safety. Women can drive alone or with their children. Only thing you need to do is provide security. You're okay with gangs' presence on your roads as a police officer?
