Rayong police commander removed over gambling-related COVID-19 outbreak

 

 

The provincial police chief of Thailand’s eastern province of Rayong has been removed from his post and transferred to work at the operations centre of the Royal Thai Police, known as a graveyard for police officers under investigation for alleged misconduct or gross negligence of duty.

 

The abrupt transfer of Pol Maj-Gen Papatdet Katephan was ordered by the national police chief, Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk, after 85 people in the province were found to be infected with COVID-19, a cluster of infections linked to an illegal gambling den.

 

The same order also assigned Pol Maj-Gen Mana Inpitak, deputy commissioner of Region 2 Provincial Police Bureau, to take over from Pol Maj-Gen Papatdet, in an acting capacity, until a permanent replacement is appointed.

Is this the new euphemism for "transferred to inactive duties"? If so, then it would not IMHO be unreasonable to conclude that the RTP's Operations Centre isn't exactly a hive of activity!

Is that really what you think the article was stating? That a legal action against a corrupt official has eliminated covid in Rayong?

Nope, more likely only the transfer to another post and the gambling den will have to close down for a few weeks. TIT

Four police officers in Rayong transferred after gambling den becomes Covid-19 hotspot

By THE NATION

 

 

National Police chief Pol General Suwat Jangyodsuk on Monday signed an order transferring four senior police officers of Muang Rayong police station to the Provincial Police Operation Centre 2, a news source revealed.

 

The four officers will no longer serve under their original command and will remain under the chief of Provincial Police Operation Centre 2 until further notice, as per the order.

 

Rayong police chief Pol Maj-General Paphatdet Ketphan had earlier been shifted to an inactive post after health authorities tracked more than 90 cases and one death in the eastern province to illegal gambling.

 

The four senior officers who have been shunted away are:

 

Pol Lt-Colonel Kiattiphong Kromkhunthod, the superintendent (crime suppression);

 

Pol Lt-Colonel Kosol Kerdmanee, superintendent (investigation);

 

Pol Lt-Colonel Khamphan Kwanthong, inspector (investigation);

 

Pol Colonel Thana Wisetchai, inspector (crime suppression).

 

The Royal Thai Police will set up an investigation committee to look into the matter for possible dereliction of duty or abuse of power by police officers, added the source.

No but as gambling is illegal in Thailand it means he he hasnt been doing his job for one reason or another so thats the fault of the police. The gambling dens probablly havent helped due to other issues like social distancing and wearing of masks.
