Pol Colonel Chairit Anurit of the Metropolitan Police faces severe disciplinary action for his alleged role in driving former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra to Sa Kaeo province during her flight before the court ruling in the negligence case against her on August 25.

Yingluck Shinawatra’s flight from the country would have no impact on current reconciliation efforts as one person’s disrespect for the law should not undermine the rules and regulations accepted by the majority of people, the government’s defence spokesman said after a Defence Ministry meeting on Monday.
