New Controversy Surrounds Tangmo Nida Case Evidence
Close friend of Kratik Idsarin denies allegations that she submitted false evidence in the Tangmo Nida case, as public scrutiny intensifies.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, public interest in the Tangmo Nida case has resurfaced following allegations regarding evidence submitted during the investigation. Critics recently claimed that Kratik Idsarin, a key figure in the case, allegedly used a photograph of actress Kwan Usamanee—who was on a different boat that night—as part of the official evidence file. In response, Kwan Usamanee has reportedly moved to act as a witness for Tangmo’s mother regarding these claims.
Helen Pavara, a close friend of Kratik, has publicly defended her, asserting that all evidence used in the case originated from the police and that Kratik never submitted any evidence herself. Helen criticized those fueling the controversy, labeling the renewed public discourse as a 'circus' and accusing some individuals of seeking attention through the tragedy. Meanwhile, Kratik has remained silent on the specific allegations, continuing to post about her fruit business on social media.
For residents and travelers, this development highlights the ongoing sensitivity and public volatility surrounding high-profile legal cases in Thailand. While the debate continues to play out in the media and online, it remains to be confirmed whether any formal legal action will be taken regarding the alleged misidentification of the photograph or if the police will issue a clarification on the origin of the evidence in question.
