Meanwhile, provincial police chief Maj General Mana Inpitak said summons have been issued for Thanawat's girlfriend, his younger sister and her friends who helped Thanawat sell lottery tickets at an Ekkachai gas station. Submitting video and audio clips and photos to police, Atchariya said Thanawat's alleged fraudulent action was done with at least four accomplices, including Thanawat's girlfriend and two other lottery distributors who should be punished too. Mana said the evidence from Atchariya would be inspected and the police would summon those implicated. Besides the initial three charges, police added the charge of document forgery over the lottery ticket photo alteration. Police objected to his bail on grounds of a risk of tampering with witnesses and evidence.
