According to police, the two masters of a lights inventory that just exploded in Narathiwat have been hiding out in Malaysia. According to reports, their company is allegedly linked to powerful people in the state of southwestern Thailand.
The Narathiwat police chief, Pol Maj Gen Anurut Im-arb, reported to the internet that Sompong Nakul, 42, and his family, Piyanuch Peungwirawat,42, have not contacted the police to report themselves.
Due to the explosion at their inventory on July 29 in tambon Muno, which resulted in the deaths of 12 individuals, injuries of 121, and damage to 292 homes, the pair was called to appear.
According to a cause, the couple is supported by local officials whose work involves smuggling workers, fireworks, cigarettes, alcohol, and narcotics.
According to the source, they were detained in 2016 for illegally storing and selling 60 kilograms of fireworks and another flammable materials. The attorney did not, however, bring the matter before the municipal judge.
Achariya Ruengrattanapong, a well-known activist, specifically asked for an investigation into the Internal Security Operations Command( Isoc ) and 4th Army Region, the Royal Thai Paramilitary Force in the Muno subdistrict, and Laem Chabang Port Customs Office.
He claimed that the Isoc would need to approve any lights that were brought into Narathiwat, a state governed by an evacuation order and Internal Security Act. It is still unknown if money were used.
Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas, the head of the national authorities, after acknowledged Mr. Achariya’s letter and stated that investigators are looking into the factory owners’ prior arrest in 2016 to determine whether they had a valid license to bring fireworks into town.
Sanan Pongaksorn, the government of Narathiwat, claimed that the majority of the injured patients had left the house because they were worried about their home.
He claimed that after some contributors expressed skepticism about gifts made via less than clear public authorities, containers of donations have been placed in front of the survivors’ homes.
According to reports, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will travel to Narathiwat on Friday and next week to see the location.
