He had pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count each of rioting, failing to present his travel documents when trying to leave Singapore and extortion, which is related to a separate incident.

SINGAPORE - An Indian national was slapped with a stiff jail sentence for his role in a riot which saw more than 50 foreigners using makeshift weapons to cause serious injuries.

Singh was out on bail when he was arrested in October last year while trying to leave Singapore for Malaysia illegally by hiding inside the cargo area of a bus. Singh was sent to jail in 2016 for offences including rioting. As part of the order, he was not supposed to commit any more offences between Jan 21 and July 2, 2017.

Singh and his group had tried to extort $1,500 from Ms Brar Simadeep Kaur, 21, who was then living with four other Indian nationals in a Jellicoe Road flat, near Lavender Street.
