At the break of dawn on Monday, a couple rattled by recent events walked through the doors of Sri Maha Phot police station. The dynamic duo, a 31-year-old woman and her husband, came to answer for some rather unsavory accusations. Station chief, Police Colonel Mongkol Thopao, met with the pair, ushering them through an intense hour-long inquiry. With media curiosity at a peak, the woman, visibly shaken, only mustered a brief comment about their shock, opting to step back from the flashing cameras and probing questions.
The intriguing saga began when the couple got a whiff of the news that authorities had paid a visit to their residence in the quaint tambon Tha Tum of Sri Maha Phot district the previous evening. However, by then, the couple was far from home, deeply engrossed in a merit-making retreat in Kalasin, their home securely locked.
Upon their return, a word from Pol Col Mongkol sealed their decision to surrender. The charges they faced were indeed peculiar and alarming—being ardent loan sharks, scandalously posting explicit naked pictures of their debtors to the web, and pressing for repayments in a manner that might utterly tarnish one’s dignity.
Interesting to note, apparently, their list of debtors didn’t even stretch into Prachin Buri. But the tale gets quirkier. It seems a man, who initially borrowed a mere 500 baht from the woman, felt the brunt of their ironclad lender’s grip. His grievance echoed through the corridors of the station—his naked photo was broadcasted not just to his five guarantors but unmistakably to one dear to him—his mother.
The borrowing process was humiliatingly peculiar. The man recounted how he was coerced into posing nude with his ID card clutched in his hand, signing a contract that relinquished any privacy upon default. The agreement was bizarrely backed by a towering 100-baht weekly interest—an amount he managed to pay on time for six relentless weeks. Yet, fate played a cruel twist—a single day of default on the seventh week flipped his world upside down, releasing the damning naked photo.
And the woes didn’t end there. Female debtors, too, faced a similar grim requirement. They were ordered to bare their topless forms for equally ignominious purposes. A dire landscape painted by control driven lenders.
With the investigation unfolding like a tantalizing mystery novel, one can’t help but await the ensuing chapters in this turbulent saga. The community watches intently, as the clutched secrets of hole-in-the-wall loans and scandalous exposures unravel amidst the rising whispers in Prachin Buri.
