Police Panel Summons Officials Over Leaked DSI Documents

At 9:30 a.m. on September 3, 2025, the House Police Committee, chaired by Vachrapong Kuavijitsuwan, a Saraburi MP from the Bhum Jai Thai Party, convened to investigate the public release of documents from a special investigation report on alleged electoral fraud and related charges. The committee invited Priset Vatthasin, a Phak Prachathai list MP, and Yingluck Achanont, director-general of the DSI, to provide information.

Before the meeting, Vachrapong told reporters that the DSI had filed a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division the previous week alleging that someone had leaked internal documents to the public in a way that undermined the agency's operations. He said the committee needed to investigate how classified documents could have escaped from DSI custody and who was responsible, since the agency is seen as a last resort for the public. He emphasized that the inquiry seeks to establish facts so the public understands what happened, and that future document releases must have clear chain-of-custody to avoid unfounded accusations.

When asked if the committee would prosecute the person who leaked the documents, Vachrapong said that would be determined by the Crime Suppression Division. When pressed on whether the committee, seen as aligned with the government, was attempting to stifle information disclosure on the electoral fraud case, he denied it, arguing that the committee includes members from multiple parties, including Phak Prachathai. He noted that Yingluck, whom he identified as the person who disclosed the information, did not attend the meeting, which he said was unfortunate because the committee wanted to learn how Yingluck obtained documents so sensitive that even the Constitutional Court had once ordered an official to step back from his duties. Vachrapong reiterated that the inquiry is about establishing facts, not playing politics.
