Imamoglu said in a post early Wednesday morning that hundreds of police officers were outside his house.
Imamoglu was detained early Wednesday and taken to police headquarters, his aide was cited by the AFP news agencies as saying.
Local broadcasters reported that police raided his Istanbul home at dawn as part of a probe.
