The libel lawsuit was filed against Khattiya as first defendant, lawyer Sukit Pulsrikasem, Bundit Centre Co Ltd and Suwit Pongkitdechawat-tana, the owner of the website krapook.com, for defaming police officers. Khattiya and Sukit, had publicly asked the national police chief to have Seripisut and four Chon Buri policemen disciplined and subjected to criminal punishment.

They claimed Seripisut and the four officers conspired to issue and publish a fake arrest record to defame Khattiya by suggesting he headed a team to abduct a local company executive Phubet Therdban-kerd and force him to sign a stock transfer. But the Criminal Court rejected Seripisut's libel charge against Khattiya and Sukit but held the third and fourth defendants for further trial, as the court believed pictures shown on the website came from the Daily News. The first hearing is set for December 25.

The Criminal Court took up a case filed by Somchai Boonman-saensuk against former police inspector-general Seripisut and 10 policemen for illegally impounding 64 cars and set the first hearing for January 29. On February 5, Seripisut led a special police team to seize 64 cars worth Bt11 million from Somchai's home and charged him with possessing stolen items. Somchai claimed he had taken them as collateral and had done nothing wrong, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit claimed Seripisut's action was intended to bully gambling den suspect Phaijit "Por Pratunam" Thammarojphinij and ensure he was more heavily punished. It urged the court to order the defendants to return the cars in good condition or pay Bt11.1 million in compensation.

A day before the cars were impounded, Seripisut's police team raided the gambling den allegedly belonged to Phaijit in Bangkok's Ratchathewi district and nabbed 262 punters along with gambling materials, cash and chips worth millions of baht.
