Bangkok: A delivery rider who punched "Director Jarong" in the face has met with police to apologize for his actions. The confrontation occurred after Director Jarong, a senior official in the National Anti-Corruption Commission's Investigation and Special Affairs Division, allegedly fled a scene of drunk driving that resulted in a fatality.
According to Thai News Agency, the delivery rider, identified as Mr. Thanat, reported to Thung Khru Police Station to provide his statement to investigators. His lawyer, Mr. Taweesak Saiyot, explained that Mr. Thanat's actions could be considered assault, though they were fueled by anger over the circumstances surrounding the victim's death. Mr. Thanat expressed deep remorse for his reaction, explaining that he knew the deceased personally and had always supported him.
In an interview following his police statement, Mr. Thanat extended an apology for the incident. His lawyer advised him not to attend the funeral again, as Mr. Jarong's continuous presence there could trigger further incidents. The lawyer emphasized the importance of avoiding any confrontation that could exacerbate the situation.
