Worker accused of faking injury to cheat company gets acquittal

A migrant worker who was accused of faking a workplace injury to cheat his company was acquitted in the State Courts yesterday.

Mr. Kirpal Singh, 24, was charged on April 8, 2019, with making fraudulent claims for compensation and lying to an investigating officer, after he cut his thumb while operating a grinder at work on Feb 20 the same year.

Yesterday, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) prosecutors withdrew the charges, and the former construction worker was handed a stern warning and a discharge amounting to an acquittal.

This means the Indian national cannot be charged again over the same offense.

No reason was given in court as to why the charges were dropped, but The Straits Times understands that it was due to a lack of evidence after Mr Singh’s lawyers made formal representation to the ministry on his behalf.
