Police submit Kannan Nok shooting case to public prosecutors

13 Sept 15:19 Key points summarised by AI

The Crime Suppression Division (CSD) submitted its case files against Praween Chanklai, known as “Kamnan Nok,” and 21 police officers to provincial public prosecutors.
Praween faces murder charges for the killing of a highway police officer, while the 21 officers are charged with malfeasance for failing to intervene or apprehend the suspects at the scene.
Seven civilians present during the shooting are also charged with aiding and abetting the police officers.
The shooting reportedly occurred after a promotion request for Praween's nephew was rejected, leading his bodyguard to open fire, killing one officer and injuring another.
This high-profile case has brought scrutiny to corruption within the Thai police force and prompted further investigations into Praween’s business connections.
