On August 19, 2025, police arrested Khong, an associate of a woman identified as Pa Da, on suspicion of joint land encroachment in the Phra Khanong area. The arrest occurred at a restaurant as Pa Da and her group were about to dine. Plainclothes officers approached Khong, read him an arrest warrant, and transported him to Phra Khanong Police Station for interrogation.

Pa Da followed the officers to the police station and questioned why her associate was arrested without clear explanation of the charges. She emphasized that if the charge involved land encroachment, authorities should specify which property was allegedly encroached upon, and noted this appeared to be a recurring matter.

Khong later called Pa Da from the interrogation room and informed her he had been charged with joint land encroachment in the Phra Khanong area. He stated the case was unrelated to any matter in Khon Kaen province and expressed willingness to be investigated to determine the accuracy of the allegations. Khong also confirmed that police read the arrest warrant before taking him into custody. When asked why officers had not apprehended him when he initially visited the police station, Khong said he was equally puzzled. Officers subsequently transported Khong to the Phra Khanong Criminal Court.
