Police yesterday arrested a 27-year-old Bangkokian who allegedly claimed to be MR Mannarumas Yukol and sought money in exchange for giving others a chance to attend the Abhidhamma prayer for His Majesty King Bhumibold Adulyadej at the Grand Palace on Tuesday night.

At the police press conference yesterday, Charan Sanitwong resident Anothayapat Sitthirapol admitted that she signed in as MR Mannarumas so she could lead others into the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall. She admitted to having done this three times – on October 27, November 22 and November 23 – and duped 17 people into giving her over Bt100,000 before being arrested.
