Police were alerted by a concerned citizen and arrived to find the woman, identified only as Kung, already clothed by a passerby. Kung told authorities that after returning from abroad, she had struggled to find stable work and had been living near the hospital. She accused a local gang member named Sombat of abusing her, forcing her to use drugs, and coercing her into prostitution.

Kung said she removed her clothes as a cry for help and insisted she was not under the influence of drugs, even offering to undergo a urine test. She expressed no desire for charity, only seeking a chance to leave the area and find work elsewhere.
