Municipal official Jeerapoj Plaiduang (centre), 45, based in Pathumwan district, was the first to be arrested and is accused of masterminding the exam cheating. (Bangkok Post file photo)A committee investigating cheating in the recent police entrance exam has decided that while those candidates found involved in the scandal will be disqualified and charged, the other applicants will not have to sit a new examination. MPB deputy chief, Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak, said the panel in charge of the case would finalise the list of exam cheaters within a week, and then continue with the selection process. One of the suspects is Jeerapoj Plaiduang, 45, a city inspector, or thetsakit, at the Pathumwan district office of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. The MPB deputy chief said investigators had applied for arrest warrants for 100 more exam candidates, but the court ordered them to gather additional evidence and re-submit their request.
