Chon Buri's police chief has been transferred to an inactive post pending an investigation into his alleged connection with the hiring of fake suspects in an assault and shooting case in central Pattaya last month.
National police chief Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas on Tuesday signed an order transferring Chon Buri police commander Pol Maj Gen Kittanate Thanananthavisin to the inactive post at the Royal Thai Police Department Operation Centre in Bangkok.
He is being probed for his alleged links to an attempt to help the real culprits escape prosecution by switching them with two other people.
