Şenol was arrested on charges of "challenge to a duel, causing disturbance, and inappropriate conduct" after an incident that occurred at the LTB headquarters.

In court, Police Officer Erkan Yılmaz testified that on October 11, 2024, Şenol, upset over a prior disciplinary warning, confronted the head of the LTB's police department outside the mayor's office. Şenol allegedly shouted, "I'll kill you, I'll find you outside," challenging the officer to a duel.

Further, it was revealed that Şenol had also phoned Akdoğan Mayor Ahmet Latif, threatening both Latif and Harmancı, stating, "You've stepped on a landmine. I'll end both of you." The police launched separate investigations into these threats.

Şenol, who has a prior conviction for causing disturbances in 2022, did not contest the bail conditions. His lawyer stated that the incident was a repeat offense and that Şenol would seek anger management counseling. Judge Nuray Necdet imposed strict conditions for his release, including a 20,000 TL cash bail, a 300,000 TL surety, and an order for Şenol to report to the police three times a week, while prohibiting him from leaving the country until his trial.
