Indian technology firm, Byju's founder, Byju Raveendran, was given a six-month jail sentence by a Singapore court after disobeying multiple orders to surrender himself, according to a report by Bloomberg on Wednesday.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the report adds that Byjue was asked to pay SG$90,000 and furnish proof of his legal ownership in Beeaar Investco, which is a corporate entity holding shares in an associated company.
The founder is already facing claims from foreign investors across the globe, including a claim related to an SG$1.2 billion loan from US lenders, the report added.
