Man in Military-Style Uniform Questioned Over Nightclub Fire Claims

A Thai man faced scrutiny after appearing in military-style clothing at the scene of the deadly Bangkok nightclub fire and presenting himself as an official. He reportedly introduced himself as Lieutenant Nut and stood near Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul while authorities inspected the damaged venue. Rescue personnel later said he was not part of an authorised emergency response team and had received no official assignment at the site. Reports linked him to an unconfirmed allegation that the nightclub’s owners demanded payment from customers attempting to escape, although investigators have not verified that accusation. The man has not publicly addressed the claims, and authorities have not announced whether he will face legal action.
