Two Indian nationals were charged in a Singapore district court on April 28, 2025, after allegedly robbing a woman at a hotel along Jalan Besar. Arokkiyasami Daison, 22, and Rajendran Mayilarasan, 28, each faced a robbery charge and were ordered to be remanded at Central Police Division pending further investigations.
According to court documents, the incident occurred on April 26, 2025, at the Amrise Hotel Kitchener. The two men were reportedly in a hotel room with a 38-year-old woman shortly before 7pm when they allegedly restrained her by using pieces of clothing to tie up her hands and legs. They are also accused of slapping the woman across her face during the robbery.
After overpowering the woman, Daison and Mayilarasan allegedly made off with her personal belongings, including her passport, bank cards, and $2,000 in cash.
The Singapore Police Force stated that they were alerted to the robbery at around 9pm the same evening. Officers from the Central Police Division quickly initiated investigations, relying on police cameras and closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage to identify the suspects. Through swift action, officers managed to track down and arrest the two men within four hours of the report being filed.
A spokesperson from the police confirmed that all of the woman’s stolen belongings were successfully recovered during the operation.
The cases involving Daison and Mayilarasan are scheduled for further mention in court on May 5, 2025.
In Singapore, robbery with hurt is considered a serious offence. Individuals convicted of this crime can face between five and 20 years in prison, along with at least 12 strokes of the cane. The law imposes heavy penalties to deter violent crimes and protect the safety of individuals within the country.
The incident highlights the effectiveness of Singapore’s surveillance network and the quick response of law enforcement officers in handling serious criminal activities. Police reiterated their commitment to ensuring public safety and bringing offenders to justice swiftly.
Investigations are still ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the case, including whether the suspects had any prior connection with the victim or if the crime was premeditated.
As court proceedings continue, both Arokkiyasami Daison and Rajendran Mayilarasan remain in police custody.
