Indian national jailed 8 months for molest on MRT
A 28 year old Indian national was jailed 8 months for groping
a woman’s breasts on a crowded MRT train in June this year. Islam
Mohidul pretended to crossed his arms and groped a woman’s breasts
seated next to him.
The woman eventually shouted at the foreign worker, who then
repeatedly apologise and claimed that it was an accident. She then
took a photo of him and later went to lodge a police report. Islam
Mohidul was later arrested and lied to the police that by feigning
ignorance. He subsequently confessed to the offence afterwards.
The Indian national was sentenced to jailed for 8 months for
outrage of modesty. He is however not charged for lying to the
police and has also gotten away with caning.
Molest cases have been on the rise due to overcrowding in
Singapore’s public transport. The Singapore government is however
still short of more than 1 million more from its 6.9 million
population target.
