Turkish police raided more than 100 places in Istanbul at dawn on Thursday and arrested several people in an investigation into last month's failed coup, Times of India reported on Thursday.
Police from the financial-crimes unit were conducting the operations to root out sympathizers of a religious movement led by Fethullah Gulen, currently living in the US. Gulen was accused of being the mastermind of the coup.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said 4,262 companies and institutions with links to Gulen had been shut.
In purges of the military, police, civil service and judiciary, 79,900 people had been removed from public duty, he said in a speech broadcast live on television.
