On September 3, 2026, at 09:30 AM at the Parliament House, the House of Representatives Committee on Police, chaired by Watcharapong Kuwichitsuwan, MP for Saraburi from the Bhumjaithai Party, held a meeting to deliberate on a high-profile case regarding the publication of Special Case Investigation Report No. 24/2568 concerning criminal association and related offenses across public media channels.
During this session, the committee summoned key figures and agency heads to provide testimony, including Parit Wacharasinthu, list-MP from the People's Party, Yingcheep Atchanont, director of iLaw, the Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), and the Commander of the Crime Suppression Division.

Watcharapong gave an interview prior to the committee meeting, stating that the Department of Special Investigation had filed a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division the previous week regarding individuals leaking official documents to the public. The complaint noted that such disclosures created obstacles for DSI officials in carrying out their duties.
The investigation into leaked official documents in high-profile special cases remains a sensitive legal and political issue. Preliminary investigation reports often contain sensitive details that have not yet been tested in court, making unauthorized disclosures a challenge for both investigative agencies and individuals involved. Parliamentary committees play a constitutional role in overseeing state agencies and ensuring public transparency, though they must carefully avoid interfering with ongoing judicial proceedings.
The committee chairman further explained that the panel raised this issue to investigate how the official documents managed to leak to the public, noting that the disclosures were made unilaterally. He emphasized that the primary responsibility of the committee is to uncover the factual background so that the public receives accurate information.
"The committee has the duty to seek the facts so that society can learn the truth."

When reporters asked whether this inquiry would lead to legal actions against those who published the documents, Watcharapong addressed the inquiry while firmly maintaining that the committee's actions strictly adhere to its oversight duties to find the truth without any political agenda.
