A former Member of Parliament, Chalong Riewrang, shot the Prime Minister of the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO). The incident has sparked widespread criticism, particularly concerning the police’s decision to allow Riewrang to address the press without restraints after surrendering. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul publicly condemned the Nonthaburi police for what he deemed inappropriate handling of a suspect in a fatal shooting. Riewrang was also observed smoking during the press conference, further fueling public outrage. The incident raises questions about security protocols and the treatment of individuals accused of violent crimes. Authorities are investigating both the shooting and the circumstances surrounding the press conference appearance. The case is expected to be a significant political issue in the coming days.
