webfact Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thai of Indian descent nabbed on drugs charges in Sukhumvit dawn raid Picture: Thai Rath Police in Bangkok mounted a dawn raid on a house in Sukhumvit Road Soi 39 this morning and arrested a Thai man of Indian descent who they claim is the money man behind a number of large drug deals. Serving a warrant on Harpreet Singh was deputy national police chief Pol Gen Chalermkiat Sriworakhan. The raid was one of thirty carried out with three closely connected to the suspect who police say is implicated in "ice" deals worth hundreds of millions of baht in the northern, central and southern Thai regions. The suspect denied everything. Thai Rath said he looked stressed and pale during his initial interrogation at drugs suppression HQ. Chalermkiat said the evidence was clear saying that police had details of a three million baht transfer made for the purchase of a vehicle that was adapted to carry drugs. Another man, unnamed, was taken in with the suspect. The house and business premises and other assets valued at a total of 130 million baht have been seized. Drugs police claimed that the suspect was hiding behind legal businesses in clothes and rental properties. Neighbors said that the family had lived in the soi for 15 years and liked to make merit. They told Thai Rath that they thought the Thai/Indian man might have been framed.

Years ago quite a few Indians took up an offer of locating to Thailand from India and were given citizenship and undeveloped land in Bangkok that is now worth a fortune.

I know as I'm in the process of gaining citizenship, and terrible insults, for example when I went to choose a Thai name at the local khet. Btw, the original heading doesn't say Thai, but just Kaek.

Not really, it isn't relavent, why do we need to know that this man has an Indian heritage like so many other Thais? Thailand is basically a land of immigrants, the original people are racially linked to Australian aborigines, the rest are of Mongolian, Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, Burmese, Laos, Cambodian and Vietnamese descent, mainly.

midas Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Sounds like he got greedy and he has ended up in trouble. He should have stuck to running apartments which so many of these Thais of Indian descent In the Sukhumvit Road area seem to have done very successfully over the years.

If they wasted their time and money bringing drug addicts to trial they might not have caught this guy who was funding the importation of large amounts drugs. For once in Thailands history they are on largely on the right track, taking addicts to rehab and tackling the importation, and the maximum sentence for what is accused of is death anyway, so what is this waste of money you refer to?

There are about 65.000 Indian Thai citizens, most of who have been here for many generations , my guess is that the 1st ones were granted Thai citizenship quite some time ago when they arrived in the 1860's. I have heard that when they 1st arrived here they were given some of the land along what is now Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
