Singapore Church Scare: Man Charged Over False Terror Threat
An Indian-origin Singaporean man was charged for placing a fake bomb at St Joseph's Church, forcing services to be cancelled, with psychiatric evaluation underway.
Kokulananthan Mohan, an Indian-origin Singaporean, has been charged with placing a fabricated device at St Joseph's Church, triggering the cancellation of Sunday services. The incident has raised concerns about security at religious sites and shows how quickly events can disrupt a community. Mohan is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation.
Preliminary investigations indicate he acted alone and there is no terror or religious motive.
If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $386,757, or both, under the UN anti-terror regulations.
