A Thai army sergeant who alleged that corruption was rampant in his unit was granted bail by a military court after he was accused of abandoning his post, which he said he did because he feared for his safety.

The military court in Bangkok granted Sgt Narongchai Intharakawi’s release on 50,000 baht (RM6,880) bail, his lawyer Norasate Nanongtoom said on Monday.
