Singapore jails Indian-origin man for draping national flag, creating nuisance

Singapore, Sep 22 (PTI) A 36-year-old Indian-origin man in Singapore will spend two weeks in jail for wearing the country's flag like a cape and shouting at patrons at a coffee shop earlier this month, according to a media report.

Roy Ravi Jaganathan, who pleaded guilty on Thursday to one charge of creating public nuisance is facing his second conviction after he committed a similar offence in July this year.

Earlier, he was sentenced to five days in jail on a similar charge of creating public nuisance after shouting aggressively and gesturing with an umbrella to people at another coffee shop in July, according to a report by The Straits Times on Thursday.
