Thailand's Immigration Bureau has confirmed that Arisman Pongruangrong, a hardline United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) leader is still in Thailand, Pol.Lt.General Tha-ngai Prasachaksattru, commander of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) said Saturday.

By this time, Arisman has still not contacted to surrender, Thai News Agency quoted Tha-ngai as saying.

Police forces have already deployed to search on areas, where the UDD core leader might potentially use for shelter, the CIB commander said.
