Bangkok police have arrested a 22-year-old man, known by the alias Ram Bangna, for allegedly selling e-cigarette pods containing ketamine to young people in the Rangsit area.

 

On 16 August, Pol Col Pansa Amornapitak, superintendent of Yannawa Police Station, directed an operation led by Pol Lt Col Supakit Kongchuen, head of the investigation division, to execute an arrest warrant issued by the Bangkok South Criminal Court. The warrant, numbered 259/2568 and dated 29 July, charged the suspect, identified only as Mr P., with defamation and the illegal distribution of a Category 2 narcotic (ketamine).

 

The arrest took place at a condominium in Khlong Luang district, Pathum Thani province. During the search, officers discovered a large haul of illicit e-cigarette pods, branded “Pod K”, which contained ketamine. The narcotics were concealed in 1,122 gold-coloured packages. Police also seized a black Toyota Fortuner with Bangkok licence plates and an iPhone 12 Pro Max used by the suspect.

 

Investigators had tracked Mr P. to the condominium after learning he had fled there while wanted for defamation charges. Surveillance revealed he had been operating as a dealer, selling the ketamine-laced pods to university students in the Rangsit area.

 

During questioning, the suspect admitted the narcotics were his and confessed to distributing them to teenagers and students. He has been remanded into custody and, along with the seized evidence, handed over to Khlong Luang Police Station for further legal proceedings.
