The reason Mr. Quyt was proposed for disciplinary action was because a few weeks ago, Long Xuyen City Police received a petition from Ms. NTH accusing Lieutenant Colonel Quyt of "molesting and raping" female militia member T (Ms. H's niece), working in a neighborhood in My Xuyen ward.

After receiving the complaint, Long Xuyen City Police issued a decision to inspect Lieutenant Colonel Quyt. The inspection results showed that Lieutenant Colonel Quyt did not commit any acts of coercion or molestation, but instead had excessive playful behavior, using his hand to stroke and pinch the cheek of the female militiaman.

This behavior violated the code of conduct of the people's police, so Long Xuyen City Police organized a review and proposed a disciplinary measure of reprimand.

Major General Bui Be Tu - Director of An Giang Provincial Police said that the official disciplinary decision has not been made yet because the upcoming disciplinary action will be decided by the disciplinary council meeting. According to Major General Bui Be Tu, the case is not serious, but because there is a complaint, the police have to handle it.

Ms. T and Lieutenant Colonel Quyt have had a good working relationship for a long time. “If there were no complaint, it would just be normal joking around. But there was a complaint, and the person involved was in the police force, so we had to handle it, and the handling was somewhat more severe than with people outside the force so that people would not have any questions.”
