Police NSF, 20, allegedly attempted to obtain sexual services from social escorts in exchange for not reporting them

SINGAPORE — A full-time national serviceman (NSF) from the Singapore Police Force was charged on Thursday (Nov 24) with committing corruption offences, after he allegedly tried to get sexual services from a social escort in exchange for not taking enforcement action against her.

SINGAPORE — A full-time national serviceman (NSF) from the Singapore Police Force was charged on Thursday (Nov 24) with committing corruption offences, after he allegedly tried to get sexual services from a social escort in exchange for not taking enforcement action against her.

Fahd Siddiqui, 20, was said to have done this around Nov 1 at Robertson Quay Hotel.

He also allegedly did the same with two social escorts around Nov 4 at Hotel Grand Pacific along Victoria Street.

For his actions, Fahd faces two charges under Section 6(a) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

No other details were mentioned in court documents, such as what offences the escorts allegedly committed that Fahd was supposed to report.

He is set to appear in court again on Dec 15.

In a press release on Thursday, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said that Fahd had committed the alleged offences while off-duty.

The bureau added that it “looks into all corruption complaints and reports, including anonymous ones”.

If found guilty for an offence under Section 6(a) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, Fahd could be jailed for up to five years or fined up to S$100,000, or both.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this report stated that Fahd Siddiqui allegedly received sexual services from social escorts. This is incorrect. Fahd allegedly attempted to receive sexual services. We are sorry for the error.
