Indian Student Jailed for Molesting air hostess

BY Connect Newsroom, May 15, 2025 5:00 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

A passenger saw him do it and immediately freed the air hostess and pulled her out. Rajat was arrested after the plane landed at Changi Airport. He pleaded guilty in court on Wednesday.

A 20-year-old Indian man has been sentenced to three weeks in jail in Singapore for molesting an air hostess. The Indian, identified as Rajat, grabbed the air hostess from behind and dragged her into the toilet with him on a Singapore Airlines flight from Perth to Singapore on February 28.

A passenger saw him do it and immediately freed the air hostess and pulled her out. Rajat was arrested after the plane landed at Changi Airport. He pleaded guilty in court on Wednesday.

According to Singapore law, a person found guilty of molestation can be jailed for up to three years, fined, caned or any other punishment. However, Rajat's lawyer told the court that his client's clean record and good conduct at school allowed him to impose a lesser sentence in the case.
