Deputy Win Opens Up After Bail, Denies Involvement in 2.5 Million Extortion Case, Vows to Continue Police Duty

Deputy Win, Pol. Col. Kawinsak Peerayasathanon, Deputy Commander of Border Patrol Police Region 4, openly affirmed that he has no involvement and has never received any benefits or shares from the 2.5 million baht as alleged. Achariya expressed no concern, confirming he has done nothing wrong and declined to give interviews due to a court order prohibiting comments related to the case.

Following the Criminal Court's order to grant temporary release to Achariya and associates, with conditions prohibiting interference with evidence or any actions that could obstruct or damage the investigation, as previously reported.

Later, at 17:40 on 22 April 2026, Pol. Col. Kawinsak Peerayasathanon, Deputy Commander of Border Patrol Police Region 4, known as Deputy Win, stated that he had previously conflicted with Achariya twice, had been subject to complaints, and faced serious disciplinary investigations. However, in all cases, he defended himself with facts through legal processes, and the matters were ultimately resolved. He reaffirmed that he has never been involved in any wrongdoing and will prove the truth through the justice system.

Regarding his involvement in this incident, he explained that someone called him for advice after learning about his experience dealing with complaints and resolving issues. He offered guidance as an acquaintance and with good intentions but was not involved in any processes as accused.
 
Pol. Col. Kawinsak affirmed that all his actions were lawful and sincere. He never received benefits or shares from the 2.5 million baht allegedly involved. His sole aim was to help a friend out of trouble. He has never contacted or had a personal relationship with Achariya. Previously, he suffered from being implicated, enduring serious disciplinary investigations for three years, which affected both his career and family.
 
Regarding the immigration police detention room, Pol. Col. Kawinsak said he was unaware of details since he was not serving in the immigration unit during the relevant period. He believes it is more appropriate for the directly responsible agencies to clarify the facts.

He described this event as an important life lesson, especially how helping others impacted himself and his family. Nevertheless, he intends to continue his police duties, believing he can still contribute positively to society.
 
Pol. Col. Kawinsak said that regarding calls for his dismissal, he is ready to accept his superiors' decisions and respects any orders issued through proper procedures. He stated that if such decisions benefit the Royal Thai Police's image and public trust, he will comply without objection. However, if his superiors believe he can continue to serve and contribute to the organization and public, he is prepared to perform his duties to the best of his ability.
 
Speaking about Achariya, Pol. Col. Kawinsak expressed hope that such incidents do not happen to others, noting the impact extends beyond the individual to their family and surroundings. Ultimately, the truth will emerge through the justice process.



Later, at 18:23, Achariya exited the courthouse stairs, waving to the media before briefly stating that he could not disclose details or give interviews due to a court order, warning that speaking could revoke his bail. He said he was at ease because he had done nothing wrong, then left to wait for a car and departed immediately.
