Pol Maj-General Boonyarit Rodma, commander of the Metropolitan Police Division 7, signed an order to start the investigation on Saturday. Boonyarit took the action after a Facebook user with account name “Komsarn Pokong” posted a video clip on Friday, showing many policemen waiting in the long queue to get angpao. Policemen wait in line to get angpao from an influential person who has been defying the law and the state power. Facebook users said there were about 250 policemen in the queue but Boonyarit said the number was about 60. Boonyarit added that he has learned that the policemen came from Talingchan, Thamma Sala, Bang Yikhan and Bang Saothong police stations.
