An Indian-origin Singaporean was sentenced to six weeks in jail after he pleaded guilty to six charges, including five for cheating by impersonation at hospitals and polyclinics across the city state for medical treatment for back pain. Instead of registering as himself, Logeswaran Mohandas, 42, posed as his brother and an acquaintance, who ended up being charged for his medical bills.
Logeswaran had another 19 charges ` most of which were for similar offences ` taken into consideration in his sentencing, according to a report by The Straits Times. The court heard that the various bills with the hospitals have since been settled, and that Logeswaran has repaid his brother via instalments while his acquaintance did not wish for any restitution.
