Thailand's army has detained former prime minister of the country Yingluck Shinawatra and a number of members of her family following the military coup, BBC reports.
Yingluck and scores of politicians from the deposed Thai government had been told to report to a Bangkok army base.
She was kept for several hours and then driven to an undisclosed location.
On Thursday night, Thailand's army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha declared himself as acting prime minister until someone can be found to serve the post full time.
Yingluck was forced to step down as prime minister by a court two weeks ago.
