Overview

• The State Courts imposed the jail term on Sept 11, allowed him to begin serving on Sept 18, and set bail at S$30,000.
• He pleaded guilty to three counts of corruptly obtaining sexual acts in exchange for help with short‑term visit pass cases, with three similar charges taken into consideration.
• The offences from 2022 to 2023 involved six Indian nationals in their mid‑20s seeking to remain in Singapore.
• As a team leader in ICA’s Visit Pass Unit, he wielded discretion over extensions and in one case told a subordinate to approve a two‑week pass after a sexual encounter.
• Prosecutors sought 30 to 36 months and called the conduct appalling, and ICA said disciplinary proceedings will follow his conviction.
