SINGAPORE – After being arrested for cheating multiple victims in a rental scam, Patel Dhavalkumar Chandubhai, who was out on bail, attempted to leave Singapore by using his roommate’s passport.
In May 2022, Patel demanded a rental sum of $500 from each victim, and asked for an additional $200 from one of the victims for groceries to be shared among the tenants of the unit. The victims lodged police reports against Patel and he was arrested on May 29 at Changi Airport as he attempted to leave Singapore for India.
His roommate did so and gave his passport to Patel, who kept it even though they did not manage to buy a mobile phone that day. When the officer asked him for his particulars, Patel was able to recite his roommate’s details from memory. When questioned further, he provided a digital copy of his roommate’s student pass.
After District Judge Kenneth Chin meted out the sentence, Patel said through a translator: “The sentence is too long. I would like to ask my lawyer what he can do about it.”
