Jailed after he told commuter: 'I want to see you naked'
A man who abused a bus driver and told a fellow commuter that he wanted to see her naked was given 10 weeks' jail.
Philip Sudhan Dhanaraj, 51, admitted to insulting the modesty of the 31-year-old woman, using abusive words towards bus driver Narenthiran Arumugan, 29, and stealing two bottles of alcohol from a 7-Eleven Shell petrol station at Lorong 1, Toa Payoh, reported The Straits Times Online.
A court heard yesterday that while SMRT bus service NR 7 was travelling along Sims Avenue on Oct 31 last year, Dhanaraj approached the woman and asked about her personal life and whether she had a boyfriend. She was talking on the phone and ignored him.
When she noticed Dhanaraj manoeuvring around his seat and bending forward in a bid to peep under her skirt, she used her bag to cover her thigh area.
He uttered the words, "I want to see you naked" and called her a "b****".
She alerted the driver who called the police.
He was released from jail as the court had backdated his sentence to his remand on Dec 7.
