Alcohol-Fueled Hoax: Man Falsely Accuses Monk, Faces Charges
In an unexpected turn of events at Bangkok's Mo Chit Bus Terminal yesterday, a man falsely accused a monk of firing a gun into the sky, only to find himself under arrest after his impaired ruse unraveled. Police, led by Phuwadol Ounpho of the Bang Sue Police Station, received the report of a monk allegedly discharging two shots into the air on November 18 at 3pm. However, a search of the monk yielded no firearm, adding a perplexing layer to the alleged incident. The plot thickened when law enforcement officers, already on the scene, noticed the initial reporter of the incident, a man named Bamrung, in the same vicinity. Exhibiting odd behaviour and attempting to approach the monk, Bamrung quickly garnered the attention of the officers who discovered an air gun secreted on his person. He was promptly apprehended for further questioning at the Bang Sue Police Station. "I admit to drinking alcohol and making the call to the police”, admitted Bamrung during the interrogation. The real issue lay in the subsequent panic Bamrung's false accusation induced, culminating in charges of causing fear through threats. He was slapped with a fine of 1,000 baht which he was unable to pay, resulting in his detention. An attending officer reiterated the resource strain false alarms can have on the police force by detracting from genuine emergencies. The police stress the importance of reliable reporting and the repercussions of making false accusations. Bamrung's ill-considered actions serve as a potent reminder of the potential danger and disruption that reckless behaviour can cause, even if the gun in question was not lethal. The police remain steadfast in upholding public safety and assuring the delivery of justice. File photo for reference only -- 2024-11-19 -

Attorney General Declines Action on Thaksin Case
Thai AGO Declines to Process Case Accusing Former PM Thaksin of Subversion In what is being hailed as a significant shakeup in Thai politics, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) of Thailand has refused to process a politically charged case against former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra and the governing Pheu Thai Party. The case accuses both parties of trying to subvert democracy in Thailand while the King holds the title of Head of State. Sources state the case was dismissed today, 19th November, by the AGO, citing a lack of sufficient cause for the accusations. However, the decision now lies with the Constitutional Court to further pursue the matter. The case was initially tabled by lawyer Teerayut Suwankesorn earlier this month. It alleges that Thaksin, whose daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra now leads as Prime Minister, is employing his influence over the ruling Pheu Thai Party to manipulate and destabilise the democratic governance of Thailand. The case, brought to the AGO, claims the actions are a breach of Section 49 of Thailand's constitution. Documents detailing the contentious case were forwarded to the Constitutional Court by the AGO on 8th November, with the court scheduling a hearing for the matter on 22nd November. Despite declining to process the case, the AGO has confirmed that it will supply additional information to the Constitutional Court for their review. This will include evidence of actions by Thaksin and Pheu Thai Party that potentially supports the claims of subversion. As per procedure, the AGO has a 15-day window following the forwarding of case documents to provide this supplemental information, ensuring the Constitutional Court can fully investigate these hefty allegations against a former statesman and ruling political party. This promises to be a critical moment in the unfolding tapestry of Thai politics. File photo for reference only -- 2024-11-19 -
