Indian man claiming insurance fraudulently avoids jail in Australia | A magistrate's court here has delivered a suspended jail sentence to an Indian national who sought to commit insurance fraud by declaring that he had been attacked by thugs. He also claimed that they
doused his car with petrol and burned it. Jaspreet Singh, however, had actually
destroyed the car himself to claim the insurance money. The Herald Sun quoted
magistrate Felicity Broughton as describing Singh's botched insurance scam as
a stupid "premeditated enterprise'' that brought great shame to himself, his family
and his community. Defence lawyer Paul McClure said it was a desperate plan for
money that "backfired''. Police prosecutor Sen-Constable Luke Devlin told Melbourne
Magistrates' Court today that Singh intended to sell his car - a 2003 Ford Futura
sedan - as he intended to return to India on holiday at the end of January 2010. |
