Police summoned Thai senator Kittisak Rattanawaraha for questioning after it was found that he was allegedly concerned in an attack on monks and residents in the Isaan province of Phichit last month.
On April 6, a group of males wearing all-black came to Bang Klan Temple, also referred to as Hirunyaram Temple, in the Pho Talay district of Phichit and attacked monks and the temple committee. Matichon reported that thirteen victims, including monks, have been injured, and three of them suffered severe situations.
The motive was later identified as a conflict between the previous temple committee and its new staff. The men in black did not accept the brand new group or the new abbot so that they entered the house, attacked individuals, and banned guests from getting in.
The Commander of Phichit Provincial Police Officer, Kamthorn Jantee, reported that 20 suspects who participated in the assault were arrested. Only two suspects were left, including Senator Kittisak and one other government official named Dusit Khamsila.

I am sure that this problem won’t have an result on my senator position. It is simply an accusation. Maybe, it is associated to the benefit of some politicians.”
Kittisak was within the news headlines after the election ended, declaring that he would by no means vote for the Move Forward Party‘s leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, to be the model new prime minister of Thailand. He said…
