Singapore, Dec 21 (PTI) A 25-year-old Indian-origin man in Singapore was sentenced to one year, five months and six weeks' jail after he pleaded guilty to one count each of assaulting his father and molesting a woman in separate incidents.
Arjune Ravi rained blows on his 64-year-old father and continued the assault, despite knowing that police officers were waiting to be let into their apartment unit (flat) on May 10, The Straits Times newspaper reported.
Police officers later arrested Arjune and the father was taken to hospital, where he was found with multiple injuries including a nasal fracture.
In an unrelated incident, Arjune had molested a 24-year-old woman in the Little India enclave in November 2023.
