A court of the country on Friday sentenced an Indian citizen to two years in jail and 2,000 Singapore dollars in a case of death of a senior professor of ‘National University of Singapore’ (NUS) in a road accident in Singapore in 2023.
The case is on July 7, 2023 when Natarajan Mohanraj (28), who is running a lorry while watching the mobile phone, hit the car of NUS Professor Tan Yolk Lynn. The injured professor was rushed to the hospital but died due to serious injuries.
According to the news of ‘The Straits Times’, Natarajan has been involved in the cases of driving carelessly in the past. In June 2023, the traffic police issued a notice to him to submit his driving license before July 25, but the accident took place two weeks before this date.
It was reported in the news that Natarajan has accepted several allegations including driving carelessly. The court has banned him from driving any type of vehicle in Singapore for a lifetime.
The court documents also revealed that Natarajan again made the same mistake even after the deadly accident. His driving license had already been canceled, despite he was caught driving twice in 2024.
