An Indian-origin man was Monday sentenced to two and a half years in prison for his involvement in Dec 8 riots here.
Sarangan Kumaran, 36, a construction worker, was found guilty of throwing objects at the police during the riot, the Straits Times reported.
The riots in Little India erupted Dec 8 when a private bus knocked down and killed an Indian construction worker.
Kumaran was photographed hurling a large rock at an overturned police car and throwing a large green plastic rubbish bin at the windscreen of a police vehicle, causing it to crack.
He had also hit a traffic police bike repeatedly with a pole before walking away, the report said.
When he returned a few minutes later, he danced around the motorcycle after seeing it being torched by others.
