Akash Tiwari, an Indian national, was sentenced to six months in prison by Singapore courts for molesting and harassing a female flight attendant on a Singapore Airlines flight from Bangkok to Singapore. The incident occurred on February 9, where Tiwari repeatedly touched the crew member despite being told to stop, eventually cornering her in the galley. He pleaded guilty to one count of molestation and one count of harassment. In addition to the jail term, he was ordered to pay S$1,270.95 in compensation, with an additional five days in jail if he fails to pay.
