The two Indians picked up by Thai police were released on Tuesday after authorities found everything in order following their interrogation in connection with the country’s deadliest blast at a temple that killed 20 people.
The two men, whose names were withheld, had valid work permits and were legal, sources said. “Everything was found in order by the authorities,” they said.
The two men were taken into custody on Sunday night after they were seen on CCTV talking to a foreign suspect wanted in Thailand’s deadliest bombing at the Brahma shrine here which killed 20 people and injured more than 100 others.
The sources said that no charges were made against the two men who were picked up by police as
part of due diligence for questioning as they lived in the room next to one where police had found bomb-making materials.
