Plot twist in the Srisakeat police case! The actual victim has surfaced, insisting that Srisaketat police investigators did not use 'black bags' or M16 rifles for extortion and claiming the other party has distorted the facts. The deputy superintendent clarifies that all procedures followed legal protocols.
The case began when Sgt. Kings Tangtim brought a used car salesman to file a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division, claiming he was robbed and threatened by individuals posing as Mueang Srisaketat police investigators. He alleged they pointed M16s at him and his associates, handcuffed him, and threatened to use black bags while demanding money.
On May 23, 2025, a 38-year-old woman (pseudonym Nang Nee) revealed to reporters that she is actually the victim of the group that filed the complaint. Her story began on May 7 when she purchased a Toyota Revo pickup truck from this group for 345,000 baht. After completing the purchase, she drove the truck toward Bangkok. Within 5 kilometers of the sale location, a group in a sedan followed her, flashing lights and signaling her to stop, claiming she had rear-ended them. Feeling unsafe in the dark area, she drove to a gas station in Ban Piang Nam, Nong Phai subdistrict, Mueang district, Srisaketat province, where the group forcibly took the vehicle and fled with her belongings still inside.
On May 13, the group resold the truck to an acquaintance. Nang Nee contacted police, who arranged a sting operation leading to arrests. During mediation at Mueang Srisaketat station, she initially demanded 500,000 baht in compensation, which was negotiated down to 345,000 baht—the original purchase price. She received 100,000 baht that day and requested another 50,000 baht the next day, with the remainder to follow. However, the group paid only 100,000 baht before disappearing and subsequently filed the complaint with the Crime Suppression Division.
Nang Nee stated that she was present throughout the investigation room proceedings and the police investigators never exhibited the threatening behavior described in their complaint. She emphasized that the group's allegations about police using black bags and extorting hundreds of thousands of baht are completely false and distorted. She praised the police for treating her well, providing food and accommodation, and handling both her and the suspects fairly without any aggressive conduct.
Nang Nee said she simply wants the 345,000 baht returned from those responsible and warned others buying used cars to examine details carefully, avoid nighttime transactions, and immediately contact police if anything seems suspicious.
She expressed that the complaint filed with the Crime Suppression Division reads like a movie plot with fabricated details. However, she is prepared to visit the Crime Suppression Division if needed to confirm the truth and demonstrate her integrity regarding this matter, and is ready to proceed through legal channels.
Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Sarawut Kamnoi from Mueang Srisaketat Police Station stated that regarding media reports concerning police conduct, all officers' duties strictly adhere to legal principles and respect for human rights.
