Indian Woman Fined S$2,500 for Molesting Waitress in Singapore Nightclub
A 32-year-old Indian woman, Sonik Archana Susheel, was fined S$2,500 by a Singapore court after pleading guilty to molesting a waitress at a nightclub in March 2026. The incident involved inappropriate touching, pushing, and an offensive gesture while Sonik was intoxicated. The victim, a 20-year-old waitress, claimed she lost her job following the event and sought additional compensation, which the court declined due to insufficient evidence. Sonik's lawyer described the act as out of character and noted voluntary compensation and willingness to cover therapy costs.
