SINGAPORE — Back when he was in active service as a ranking officer in the Singapore Police Force, Rama Shanker Singh groped two police full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) under his charge on separate occasions.
Jail, fine for retired police superintendent who groped 2 NSFs in police car, Ang Mo Kio HQ in early 2000s
On Wednesday , some two decades later, Singh’s actions caught up with him and he was sentenced to 24 days’ jail and a fine of S$20,000. He faces an additional 20 days' jail if he fails to pay the fine. The first victim, now aged 42, served his National Service there sometime as a crime administrative clerk at the time of the offence in 2003.
Sometime between 2005 and 2006, the second victim was posted to the Security and Inspectorate Regulatory Department as part of his NS. Singh was posted there as head of compliance management. Singh withdrew his hand when the NSF said he was uncomfortable about the action, but repeated his action again later on.
The prosecutor said there is a “concomitant need” to deter such offences, as victims of such acts would usually experience shame and would be reluctant to step forward to lodge a report, making such acts hard to detect.
