Play
National police chief Somyos Pumpanmuang yesterday ordered the dismissal from civil service of Pol Colonel Denchai Butphosri of the Police Aviation Division, pending an investigation into a fraudulent claim in a Huai Khwang massage parlour search on Frid
Denchai’s name appeared on a document used by 10 policemen for a search at the premises for illegal migrant workers.
Lt-General Prawut Thavornsiri said the policeman was allegedly involved in a forged document authorising him as a special task force team’s leader, used to justify the search, despite the police chief’s previous cancellation of special task force teams nationwide.
Huai Kwang police was instructed to press a charge of forgery, while the Police Aviation Division would launch a disciplinary probe against Denchai who was also dismissed from civil service in the meantime, he added.
