Police and extortion: A case of ‘break-in’ hearts in Thailand

[webfact]

 

In a striking turn of events, an alleged victim reported that a police officer attempted to extort 100,000 baht in exchange for not pursuing a break-in case. The officer also offered to help dissolve her case if she entered into an intimate relationship with him.

 

The victim revealed that the unsettling incident occurred in October last year, in the province of Saraburi. Her car broke down in the middle of the night and a seemingly good Samaritan offered to help push her vehicle.

 

The story took a distressing detour when the man pushed her car into a deserted area and trapped her in a room in his house. With some quick thinking, the woman managed to escape and sought refuge at a neighbour’s place.

 

On filing a complaint at the police station, she was detained on improper break-in allegations put forward by the same man who had attempted to molest her. Despite the man withdrawing his complaint, the police officer insisted on pursuing the case, claiming it was a criminal matter that couldn’t be withdrawn.
