Undercover police got really unlucky when the car they chose to open fire on last weekend turned out to belong to a law student from the university of the elite.
On Wednesday, Apisada Aajjanproj, a 21-year-old law student from Chulalongkorn University, was presented a shiny new, black Suzuki Swift at the Narcotics Supression Bureau.
That’s some swift justice for an incident which only took place four days ago, and it’s unclear what precedent exists for such expensive apologies on behalf of the police.
On Saturday Apisada was stopped on Soi Ramkhamhaeng 118 by armed men who were not wearing uniforms and did not identify themselves as police. When they demanded she exit her vehicle, she fled away, damaging property during her attempted escape. One of the officers unloaded his weapon at her, puncturing three tires and destroying her mirror. They later said an informant gave them a bad tip.
The Swift is reportedly worth THB564,000 and is the same as that driven by the student, Bangkok Post reported.
The three officers have been suspended pending investigation.
