Bangkok: The National Statistical Office (NSO) has taken decisive action to address the unauthorized disclosure of confidential exam results. Legal officers from the NSO have filed a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division to identify the individual responsible for tearing open the envelope containing the sensitive information.
According to Thai News Agency, the Department of Local Administration (DLA), which is tasked with protecting the original exam results, authorized a legal representative to meet with investigators at the Crime Suppression Division, Sub-Division 2. The complaint targets those involved in the unauthorized leak of the exam results, citing Section 322 of the Criminal Code. This section pertains to the "revealing or disclosing any sealed letter or document belonging to another person," which has resulted in damage to the government.
Initial reports suggest that investigators are meticulously questioning the legal representatives and are in the process of examining relevant evidence and documents to identify and bring the perpetrators to justice. In a development, a legal officer from the Department of Local Administration provided additional testimony to investigators for over four hours. The officer left without offering any interviews or further details to the media.
In a related statement, Pol. Lt. Gen. Nattasak Chaowanasai, Commander of the Central Investigation Bureau, indicated that there will be progress in the case by Monday, June 29. For now, investigators continue to gather evidence and proceed with the legal processes.
