Police investigation into Bangkok police chief Pol Lt Gen Camronwit Thoopgrajank's ethics as recommended by the Office of the Ombudsman is underway.
The Ombudsman's office spokesman Raksagecha Chaechai said Thursday that all further queries will be put on hold for the time being.
Royal Thai Police commander Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew had written to the Ombudsman’s Office explaining that a panel had been set up to look into Camrongwit’s conduct.

The Bangkok police chief had reportedly flown to Hong Kong a while ago so fugitive former PM Thaksin Shinawatra could pin a decoration on his chest. Raksagecha said the Ombudsman’s Office would not intervene in the police bureau’s scrutiny process.
He added that the Ombudsman’s Office would only take action if there are complaints about the investigation or if the punitive actions are not transparent once the probe has been completed.
