SINGAPORE – A student at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) met a schoolmate on campus in June last year to pass her a piece of lysergid or LSD, as she was curious about the hallucinogenic drug.
Ally Tan Ya Teng, 18, gave a token sum of $ 1 to Saahil Mahesh Thadani for the drug.
In a separate incident in NYP, Saahil sold LSD to another schoolmate, Tahsh D Khemlani, 19, for $ 40.
Saahil also gave the drug to a third schoolmate who was 17 at the time and cannot be identified, as adolescents under the age of 18 are covered by the Children and Youth Act. All four students are Singaporean.
When he was a young delinquent, Saahil was sentenced on Tuesday (November 17) to at least one year of reformer training.
This means that you will be detained in a facility and forced to follow a strict regimen that includes foot drills and counseling.
Saahil, now 20, had previously pleaded guilty to one count of LSD trafficking and possession of the drug.
The outcome of the cases involving the other three students was not disclosed in court documents.
The Central Narcotics Bureau stated on its website that LSD is a hallucinogen “often sold on blotting paper that is usually printed with a cartoon or colorful design.”
Saahil bought LSD from an online platform on at least two occasions.
The court heard that he bought 200 tablets of the drug for $ 500 and used bitcoin to pay for them. He received the shipments in April and May of last year.
Saahil intended to traffic the drug to anyone who wanted to buy or try it.
He had also planned to sell half the supply to earn extra pocket money and keep the rest for his personal consumption.
The drug happened to Tan while they were at school sometime between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. on June 22 of last year.
Court documents did not reveal how his crimes came to light, but NYP learned of the incident involving Tan.
His office of student development interviewed Saahil around 7 p.m. on June 24 of last year. Police arrested Tan and Saahil about an hour later.
For trafficking in LSD, a criminal can be imprisoned for up to 20 years and receive up to 15 strokes of the baton.
