A 39-year-old man, identified as Ma-usman, was arrested on a train following an investigation that revealed he had fabricated a story about being shot. It was determined that he had accidentally shot himself, prompting legal actions against him.

 

The arrest took place on April 20, on train number 169, which was en route from Krungthep Aphiwat to Hat Yai Junction in Songkhla province. The operation was led by Police Major General Khongkrit Lertsitthikul, coordinated with assistance from officials including Police Colonel Intharat Panya and Police Lieutenant Colonel Warisorn Matcha. An arrest warrant was issued by the Narathiwat provincial court, dated December 6, 2023.

 

This case traces back to December 2023, when Ma-usman arrived at Rue So Hospital in Narathiwat, claiming to have been shot. The hospital reported the incident to local police, sparking a detailed investigation. It was soon uncovered that Ma-usman’s wound was self-inflicted; he had accidentally shot himself but lied to medical staff, fearing legal repercussions for possessing an unlicensed firearm.

 

 

 

As police gathered evidence, an arrest warrant was issued and his travel plans were traced. His capture involved coordinated efforts by the Railway Crime Suppression Centre under the Central Investigation Bureau and Rue So police investigators.

 

During interrogation, Ma-usman confessed to the charges, which include providing false information to authorities—potentially causing public harm—as well as illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and carrying a firearm in public without proper authorisation.

 

He has been transferred to Rue So Police Station for further legal proceedings. This case highlights the serious consequences of false reporting and illegal firearm possession, with law enforcement efficiently uncovering the truth behind the fabricated incident.
