Arrest warrants have been issued for 125 police officers who were Bylock users in the Turkish province of Istanbul, as a part of the investigation against the coupist Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) over using the Bylock program, a cell phone application that has been used by the terrorist organization since 2014 for conducting secret writing.



Eighty-one of the total 125 police officers were detained. The detainees are a part of the third wave of the operation.



Previously, 37 police, in Turkey's western Uşak province, were detained in the same probe.



Turkey has been conducting an extensive investigation on FETÖ following the coup bid of July 15, which targeted the democratically-elected Turkish government.



More than 40,000 people were detained in the investigation following the coup bid, which it blames on the terrorist organization headed by Fetullah Gülen.
