Meanwhile, Metro Police Chief Police, Major General Sriwara Rangsipramkul said the interrogations conducted on a college student, the wife of another bomb suspect Mr. Adul Tawab, and a taxi driver believed to have taken the main suspect to Hua Lam Pong Train Station, have led to the police issuing more arrest warrants.
