Probe ordered into Tak Bai fugitive who returns to work in Nakhon Phanom

15 Sept 06:50 Key points summarised by AI

Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul ordered a fact-finding committee to investigate Wissanu Lertsongkhram, a deputy district chief and defendant in the expired Tak Bai massacre case, after he reported back to work.
The probe will examine Wissanu's failure to report to work after his business leave was cancelled following an arrest warrant, though he cannot be fired for his six-day absence, which is short of the 15-day dismissal threshold.
