On October 9, 2024, Achiya Ruangrattanapong, chairman of the Crime Victims Assistance Club, submitted a request to the national police chief to set up a committee to investigate the serious misconduct of the Huai Khwang police station chief. He alleged that the chief allowed the Chinese mafia to operate an illegal nightclub, KL Club, from 7:00 PM to 4:00 AM without a permit.
Achiya claimed there are complaints from Chinese victims about being extorted and assaulted in the club, including an incident on June 14, 2024, where a Chinese man, Mr. Fan Huizeng, was severely injured by a group of six individuals after they conflated him touching a woman as inappropriate, leading to demands for a payment of 100,000 baht through WeChat. When he refused, he was attacked and left unconscious, later requiring hospitalization.
Achiya coordinated with police officials, which resulted in the order to shut down KL Club and investigate the identity documents of the alleged assailants.
