The operation was conducted under the direction of Pol. Col. Napasphong Khositsuriyamanee, Superintendent of Chonburi Immigration. A team led by his deputies surrounded and raided a hideout in Soi Ko Phai the day after the incident. The raid resulted in the arrest of three suspects: 30-year-old Ran Manohar Sharma, identified as the group’s leader, along with Ankhil, 24, and Ankur, 21. The men were subsequently transported to the Immigration Office for interrogation.

The police action was initiated after the victim, Narendra Tamta, filed a formal complaint stating he had been assaulted by four of his countrymen inside the restaurant. The attack left him with a deep cut to his head that necessitated seven stitches. According to investigators, the motive for the violence appears to have been jealousy, with the assailants mistakenly believing the victim was romantically involved with Sharma’s girlfriend, who is also employed at the establishment.
