The father of a 14-year-old, shot in the shoulder near Din Daeng Police Station, filed a police complaint demanding justice for his son.
The victim, now safe and discharged from hospital, believes he was shot by other teenagers, not anti-government protesters, despite the incident occurring during a violent demonstration.
This shooting is one of several reported amid recent political protests, though police deny using live rounds and suggest a 'third party' involvement in such incidents.
