An Iranian man was apprehended at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport while attempting to flee Thailand. He is accused of committing an indecent act against a female rider.

 

Authorities had been on the hunt for the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Mohsen Teimourbalghour, following a complaint lodged on 23rd February.

 

The complaint reported that the incident occurred when the female rider was making a passenger delivery. In distress, she ran to a police station for assistance.

 

Upon receiving the complaint, officers at Lumpini Police Station quickly began gathering evidence, including video footage and CCTV images, which confirmed the suspect's identity.

Consequently, the Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against Mr. Teimourbalghour on 24th February for "committing an indecent act on a person over 15 years old."

 

With the arrest warrant in hand, authorities collaborated with immigration officials to track the suspect. On the evening of 24th February, officials at Suvarnabhumi Airport were alerted that Mr. Teimourbalghour was attempting to leave the country.

 

Immigration police detained him at the airport and he was subsequently transferred to Lumpini Police Station for further questioning and legal proceedings, reported Khaosod.

Brave lady to get immediately go to the police, whilst likely still in some shock.  Well done the police and immigration for working together so fast.  Shame the incident happened, but it does show the police in a good light for a change.

What happened?  Did he attempt to touch her?  Did he call her a bad name?

Fleeing the police dragnet, or returning home on his scheduled flight?

I'm not defending the guy....  BUT... what indecent 'act is he alleged to have committed' ???

 

 

The reason I ask... I know a Thai guy who is banned from using Gran for 3 months for "committing an indecent act of a female Grab Rider"...   He appealed, but Grab have simply ignored his appeal. 

 

His crime....  He placed his hand on her shoulder while getting on (and off the bike).... this is something I always do for stability on the rare occasions I have taken a Grab Bike.... 

 

And 'this' is the second time this week I've heard of such a complaint... 

Thus: IS this a way Grab riders (female) can claim some form of compensation ?

 

I know my friend well enough to know this claim by the female grab rider is 100% rubbish... 

 

What about this ???

 

 

Of course - the riders must be protected and taken care of.....  but I am left a little cynical after hearing what happened to a Thai friend - that said, there are some loons around, so it could be easy to see how some may assume 'they' are 'that sort of women'.... 

 

I've often found myself in a Grab car with a rather attractive looking young Thai female driver - I admire their bravery, but I am also very conscious to keep any conversation strictly 'respectful and professional' which really isn't a difficult thing to do at all...
