Officer suspended for demanding bribes
Play
A policeman was suspended from duty yesterday after a video clip was posted on social media showing Pol Snr Sgt-Major Nipon Sokhai, from Bang Na station, extorting money from motorists who broke the law in his area.
The Metropolitan Police Bureau also set up a fact-finding panel to investigate if another officer seen in the clip was involved and if his chief knew he had committed wrongdoing.
The investigation result will be known in three days before the bureau considers punishment.
Police also want the person who made the clip and other motorists to provide more information.
