Singapore, March 22 -- Three Indian nationals accused of drug trafficking aboard a Singapore-flagged vessel face the death penalty in Indonesia, where they were detained in July, 2024, according to reports on Friday.
Raju Muthukumaran, 38, Selvadurai Dinakaran, 34, and Govindhasamy Vimalkandhan, 45, who have been working in a shipping company in Singapore, were arrested for allegedly smuggling 106kg of crystal meth aboard the Legend Aquarius cargo vessel. All of them are from Tamil Nadu.
The trio faced a setback on March 14 when the vessel captain, whose testimony was key to the three Indians' defence, failed to appear for cross-examination in court. P14
