SINGAPORE: A police officer in Singapore was charged on 21 May 2025 with nine counts of forgery in connection with multiple criminal investigations conducted between 2021 and 2023.
The officer, S Vikneshvaran Subramaniam, 35, is accused of forging statements and official documents in seven separate cases, according to a media release by the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
Five of the cases were still under investigation at the time of the alleged offences, while the remaining two had concluded without prosecution.
SPF stated that Vikneshvaran allegedly forged seven police statements and two acknowledgement slips.
In the five then ongoing cases, Vikneshvaran allegedly interviewed the persons verbally, either in person or over the phone, and recorded these as police statements and forged the signatures of the persons thereafter.
In the two closed cases, the forged documents pertained to the return of personal items, including an EZ-Link card and a National Registration Identity Card (NRIC), to the individuals involved.
According to the police, the alleged misconduct came to light after Vikneshvaran was placed under “enhanced supervision” in October 2022 due to unsatisfactory work performance.
During a supervisory review in January 2023, irregularities concerning case exhibits and document handling were detected.
This prompted SPF to conduct a comprehensive review of all investigations previously handled by Vikneshvaran.
