BANGKOK, July 25 (Xinhua): A noted academic on Saturday urged Thailand's police and the Office of Attorney General to clarify reasons for dropping a criminal charge against a fugitive heir to energy drink giant Red Bull.

Thammasat University's deputy director Prinya Thaewanarumitkul called on the police and the Office of the Attorney General to justify their decision to drop the charge of reckless driving, which had caused death of a police officer and had been earlier filed against Vorayuth Yoovidhya, son of Red Bull energy drink manufacturer Chalerm Yoovidhya.
