A 39-year-old Indian national, Daver Arish Adil, was charged in Singapore on Oct 12 with two counts of criminal trespass.

Police say he entered the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix event area on Oct 9 using an invalid ticket.

He is also accused of entering a restricted area reserved for staff and performing artistes.

Police detained him at the event before arresting him.

A 35-year-old man was also arrested, and investigations into him are ongoing.

Each charge carries a possible sentence of up to three months in jail, a fine of up to S$1,500, or both.
