40-year-old Indran Devadas, returned to jail after assaulting a myriad of people in separate incidents, including attacking a police officer, and another person with a parang and fracturing the skull of another victim.
He committed some of his offences whilst being out on bail, and was sentenced to 2 years, 10 months and 6 weeks imprisonment on 25 July, along with 6 strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to 5 charges for several offences, including assault, voluntarily causing grievous hurt with a weapon and using criminal force on a police officer.
Indran had been in and out of jail for earlier offences, and he reoffended on 3 April 2020.
What happened?
Indran came home drunk on 3 April 2020 at about 2.15am, and got into an argument with his 50-year-old fiancee.
He threw a perfume bottle at her which hit her left temple, resulting in swelling.
he then confronted her on 20 November 2020 after hearing rumours that she had slept with another 35-year-old man, and he then went to the man’s flat and punched him in the face repeatedly before leaving.
He was then arrested and released on bail, while the 35-year-old man was conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital with a fractured skull and other injuries.
Indran was still out on bail on 5 January 2021 when he got into another argument with his fiancee and attacked her.
He then argued with her again on 23 May 2021 and she then changed the padlock to her flat, and 2 days later, she called the police and reported that Indran had broken into her home while she was out at work.
Indran was then found by officers that arrived at the scene, and he admitted to using a took to cut the padlock to gain entry.
He was then arrested and whilst inside the police vehicle, Indran kicked one of the police officer’s left arm.
In another incident, his fiancee was at a Yishun restaurant in October 2021 when she saw a man who used to be in the same gang as Indran.
She confronted the man, a 54-year-old, because she heard that the man had been spreading rumours about Indran’s medical condition.
She then called Indran, who showed up at the restaurant with a parang and the two men then got into a fight, with the parang coming into the man’s right eye and eyelid.
Indran fled the scene and was later arrested in the evening, and the victim was found with injuries to his face, including fractures.
he was also unable to close his eyes fully due to a notch caused by the wound on his eyelid.
