Singapore: An Indian national was sentenced to two years and six months’ jail term here for a charge of unauthorised access to computer material during which he deleted 180 virtual servers, costing his employer about SGD 918,000 (USD678,000).

The sentence was pronounced on Monday.

Another charge was taken into consideration for sentencing Kandula Nagaraju, 39, who was “upset” that he was fired by NCS in October 2022 due to poor work performance and his employment ended on November 16, 2022.

Between November 2021 and October 2022, Kandula was part of a 20-member team managing the quality assurance (QA) computer system at NCS, a company that offers information communication and technology services.
