Shalini Devarajan, 36, sentenced to two weeks in jail for slapping a taxi driver in Yishun on Nov. 11, 2025, after refusing to pay a $24 fare while intoxicated.
Shalini Devarajan, 36, was sentenced to two weeks in jail on February 19, 2026, for slapping a 73-year-old taxi driver in Yishun on November 11, 2025, after refusing to pay a $24 fare while intoxicated.
The driver, who noticed signs of alcohol, offered to wait or accompany her, but she declined and demanded a trip to a police station, during which she took photos of him.
Upon arrival, she slapped him, causing pain and requiring one day of medical leave.
The fare remained unpaid, and Devarajan claimed she had no funds, including a $50 note she later said she didn’t realize was in her pocket.
Prosecutors called the assault unprovoked and emphasized protection for vulnerable workers like taxi drivers.
