Singapore Court Sentences Indian IT Consultant for Insurance Fraud
An Indian IT consultant, Bhutra Ravi, was sentenced to 20 weeks in jail by a Singapore court for forging medical invoices over two years to fraudulently claim about SGD 12,350 from his company's healthcare insurer.

Bhutra repaid the amount in full. His lawyer cited personal and family health issues as factors during sentencing.
