SINGAPORE – A man who was already facing a drink-driving charge was on July 31 handed a two-week jail sentence and a $8,000 fine after he committed the same offence a mere two months later.
Ashwath Thanaraj, who pleaded guilty to two counts of drink driving, will be disqualified from driving for 54 months after his release from prison.
According to court documents, Ashwath, 26, was at a friend’s home in Upper Cross Street on April 8, 2025 when he drank at least three cans of beer from 11.15pm to about 12.45am.
After he left his friend’s home, he returned to his vehicle, which was parked at a nearby multi-storey carpark. He was planning to drive to Block 533 Upper Cross Street for a meal.
While driving in the carpark, he was stopped by a police officer who noticed Ashwath was reeking of alcohol. The officer then conducted a breathalyser test on Ashwath, which he failed.
