SINGAPORE: Four more Indian nationals will be repatriated to their home country for their involvement in the Little India riot which took place on December 8.
They are expected to be sent home on Friday night.
The four are among a group of seven previously charged in court, but subsequently had their charges withdrawn.
This brings the total number of those being repatriated as a result of the riot, to 57.
The previous group of 53 slated for repatriation have all been sent back home.
Police said they had full access to consular assistance, and were also seen by the Committee of Inquiry looking into the Little India riot.
With the latest group to be sent home, police said the repatriation operation arising from investigations into the riot will more or less come to an end.
Around 200 people will also be issued with formal police advisories, but will not be repatriated or detained. They are mainly from the marine trade and construction industries.
Ng Joo Hee, commissioner of police, Singapore Police Force, said: “It's not uncommon that police gives warnings. But because the person who received the warning in this case are foreigners, they're then deemed as undesirable immigrants in our countries. And (the state has powers to) proclaim someone a prohibited immigrant to remove him from the country."
