Singapore: Another Indian has been arrested in connection with Singapore's worst outbreak of violence in over 40 years and will be charged tomorrow for alleged rioting, taking the total number of Indians arraigned in the incident to 34.
The 41-year-old man was arrested on December 12 in connection with the December 8 riot at Little India, Today Online reported today.
However, there was no confirmation from the police on the latest arrest.
The trouble started after a private bus fatally knocked down an Indian pedestrian, 33-year-old Sakthivel Kuaravelu in Little India, a precinct of Indian-origin businesses, eateries and pubs where most of the South Asian workers take their Sunday break.
Some 400 migrant workers were involved in the rampage left 39 police and civil defence staff injured and 25 vehicles -- including 16 police cars—damaged. Singapore previously witnessed violence of such scale during race riots in 1969.
