Belief of invincibility leads to the arrest of gun toting youths

Gang plays out own version of bulletproof monk

Boonlua Chatree




A group of teenagers who thought they were bulletproof were arrested after firing shots into the air and daring police to catch them. The gang members were each covered in religious tattoos and sporting Buddhist amulets from a well-know temple in Rayong, making them believe they were invincible.

This youthful gang of tattooed "invincibles" weren’t quite as untouchable as they thought when police "tattooed" them upside the head and carted them off to jail.

Pattaya Police responded to a report of shots being fired in the Na Jomtien area at 2 a.m. on April 30. Officers arrived at the location to find 5 youths in a pickup truck just leaving the area, paying no attention to the approaching officers.

Police pursued the truck while radioing for a roadblock at the intersection of Pattaya-Jomtien and Thepprasit Road. The pick up sped through the roadblock, narrowly missing officers. Reinforcements were called in to give chase after the criminals slammed into a police vehicle and sped off in another direction.

The group then headed back towards Jomtien, where doughty cops caught up with them at the Leo Village in Banglamung. All five were captured and a handgun and three 12-gauge shells were confiscated.

The youths, aged from 16 to 26, were taken to the station for questioning. The 26-year old driver, Mana Khonteang, admitted to ramming the police car while the others cheered.

While in custody the group was strip-searched and to officers’ amazement, each of the men had religious tattoos across their back and wore identical Buddhist amulets. The group admitted that they had intended to challenge police to prove their invincibility but were detained before being able to act.

They were each charged with possession of a loaded weapon in a public place without a license, attempted murder of police officers in the line of duty and reckless driving causing an accident and injury.

Police impounded the car as evidence and sent each of them to a jail cell where they could prove their invincibility to the other prisoners.

I think you might be right about some sort of surgery operation being invented in India. I do recollect that somewhere.

1)indians gave the world Shunya meaning zero.zero was given by aryabhatta... Albert Einstein said "We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."

2) There is YOGA , AYURVEDA , HOMEOPATHY which is still practised in india and is better than ALLOPATHY which is being practiced in WEST..

3) CHESS(shatranj) was invented in india.

4)Q. Who is the creator of Pentium chip (needs no introduction as 90% of the
today's computers run on it)?
A. Vinod Dahm

Q. Who is the founder and creator of Hotmail (Hotmail is world's No.1 web
based email program)?
A. Sabeer Bhatia

Technically Sabeer Bhatia is a co-founder, but important nonetheless.



Yes, Rhinoplasty was invented in India. In fact, the method used today in re-constructive surgery is quite similar to the one used thousands of years ago in India......

Very Good! Very Good! Thank you for the new submissions!
