Arrest warrant mulled for SRT employee

Sumeth Thongtraiphop, a 53-year employee of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), is surrendering himself today after a young student filed a police complaint over his behaviour on a train, according to police in the southern province of Chumphon.

A 15-year student claimed she was sexually harassed by Sumeth while boarding a train to Chumphon yesterday evening. Together with her father, she filed the complaint yesterday.
It was reported that Sumeth told the police that he would come to the station today with his lawyer.
If he does not show up, police plan to interrogate more eyewitnesses and no later than September 30, evidence should be ready to secure an arrest warrant.
