Distressed, the woman called her husband, who confronted Chandru. The police arrived shortly after and arrested him.

After his arrest, Chandru was taken to the Woodlands Police Divisional Headquarters and had to undergo a body search by police officers.

During the search, one of the officers, identified as a 24-year-old female in court documents, asked him to remove the white drawstring from his track pants.

Instead of doing so, Chandru pulled his pants down to his knees, exposing his genitals to the police officer.

Another officer asked Chandru to pull his pants back up and he complied.

For the outrage of modesty, an offender can be jailed for up to three years, fined, caned, or receive any combination of such punishments.
