Ankit Sharma, a 46-year-old Indian national and Singapore permanent resident, has been sentenced to 4 years in jail and 6 cane strokes for molesting a woman. The incident took place on March 1, 2023, inside a nursing room at Changi City Point mall. Sharma lured the 31-year-old recruiter, restrained her, and tried to strip her despite her protests. Prosecutors described the act as violent and highly exploitative. Sharma claimed the encounter was consensual, but the court rejected his defence. The judge ruled that his actions were deliberate and forceful, confirming guilt under aggravated outrage of modesty. (PC: India Today)
